Newfie with an Austrian Bike
Anybody Know about a Bike built in Austria in the 60's? Looks like something from the "Sound of Music".heheh
It's a Puch "Elegance" still has the original tires "Made in Austria". I found it in a neighbours trash missing a pedal and two flat tires. I put in new tubes, tightened the spokes, replaced the pedals and polished the chrome and the bike is beautiful.
I can't seem to find out much about the bike. I have the serial # from the frame. It appears that the bike was used for many years and was eventually shipped to America from Europe because it has German regestration stickers on the fender. My Wife loves the bike but I want to restore every part possible. Could anyone help me with info about it and where to get parts for it?
PUCH "ELEGANCE"
Serial# 6166169
Approx 1968 as far as I can find out.
Thanks
