Back to the opening question, A-D-P of Graz made about 100K bicycles / year at its peak, whereas **** Cap's Vienna-based company, which is now run by his son, Harald, made about 5K / year. I have had the privilege of owning three ca. 1960 Capo bicycles, two of which survive and hang in my garage. One is waiting for a rear axle, the other, a major restoration.
Ed: What's with the ****? The guy has a very common German first name which begins and ends with O and sounds similar to the American pronunciation of "auto."
