Hi All,

I just picked up a Puch Mistral for cheap off of craigslist. The bike seems to be a lower end model, however, it is very very clean. I am looking to find out what model it is exactly. It has no ID stickers beyond "Puch" "Mistral" "Criterion" and "Cro-Mo". It has Shimano SIS components, and a Champion (?) handlebars.

Any Info would be appreciated

Thanks,

From my understanding, Mistral is the Model, but there are multiple levels of the Mistral line, ie. SLX and Force II. Im just not sure what it is beyond the mistral

I have a prety similar bike(almost the same) only differences are the rear dropouts: on mine they are a bit shorter 2.5 cm. here are some pictures https://plus.google.com/photos/10217...CIXtuOPPjtXLJg (https://plus.google.com/photos/102172525454414282028/albums/5861087453501709761?banner=pwa&authkey=CIXtuOPPjtXLJg). Mine has Sprinter written on the forks. What does yours have on the forks?
