Puchfinnland's new girlfriend....

Well she will have to do...for now.

I have done my best to keep my mouth shut about her, I met her at Velo Classique in December and I just fell in love.
Her father,Wayne was at first reluctant to let me take her out. No money was good enough, but I discovered the way to Her heart is by a good bribe to her father with NOS parts. An accord was met and we continued an online relationship.
Slowly I swooned her with gifts of jewelry...

A campy triple setup really impressed her
, tubular mavec's
Then she wanted more...
Campy seat post , record front and rear deraileurs
Campy headset.

She is spoiled!
She is not a great looker currently , I am seriously considering a new dress for her.
I'm dating her at 1976 era, I'm not really sure.


Will setup as triple w ultra six 120mm spacing
I have. Campy cable stop,cable guides and lever posts, I think a visit to frank next month will take care of this.

I have an ISO list of missing bits for her.
Left crank arm in discussion,
Short Cinelli 1a stem
Rear record brake

I always find true mixtes, with the double top-tube, to be great engineering and design. One of these days, I'll get around to building one of these as a sports/touring bike;

I'm a fan.

This somewhat plainer Austro Daimler mixte is a very nice ride. I think you're really going to be pleased.
