I guess it's not good enough to be strictly an A-D but better than a Puch? Anyway, it rode great. 15 miles of pure heaven.
puchs were labeled austro-diamler in the U.S., elesewhere everyone called 'em puch. My uncle owned a puch/austro-diamler racing bike. he bought it in 1984. it was the one with the finish that couldn't be scratched, sort of anodized, I guess, in black....the vent noir. Has anybody here seen one and/or know what they're worth?
