| A short lived marque, made by Austro-Daimler
Puch, and which had success particularly in the USA in the 1970s and early 80s.
There
were two lines simultaneously marketed; Austro-Daimler and Puch. A-D was a
"fancier" line with medium price to high end offerings, while Puch was aimed
at a broader range including models at lower price points.

"This was purchased as a
frameset (orig. color suggests the Superleicht model)
in the early 80's. The cream colored sections are original. The
chocolate brown parts are
a repaint by the late Ray Gasorowski of Romic Cycles in the mid
to late 80's. At my request,
he masked off the original parts so as not to destroy the original decals." Jerry Moos |
