Old Puch and Austro-Daimler clean/tune up progress
I finished up the mid 80's A-D pathfinder last week, torn down to the bare frame, cleaned and greased all the bearings. I installed a new front wheel, will probably respoke the original at some point, but for the money, I just got a new one for now. New tires, tubes, and chain. I purchased this bike new in 1984? for my then girlfriend, now wife.
Not quite finished with the 1975? Puch Royal 10. I also purchased this bike new in 1976 from the Country Peddler, which was my first actual job. Also torn down to the frame, cleaned and greased. I have since this pic laced new Sun rims to the vintage Weyless hubs, and new tires and tubes. Having issues getting a correct freewheel for it, it had a 2 notch Regina freewheel that the puller had slipped on previously. Probably ruined it getting it off this time. Purchased a new Shimano 6 speed freewheel, but it is too wide to fit. Going to try to repair the original if possible. It is now on wheels, just need to get the freewheel issue resolved.
