When I was a kid growing up in the late 60s and early 70s there was one little bike shop that carried Puch in my home town. I thing that I remember about the Puch ten speeds that were on display was the rainbow of vivid, incredible, bright colors that were available. There were lots of Schwinn Shops and a fair number of shops that carried Peugeots back then, but just this one little shop carried Puch. I wanted one bad, and was saving my money and dreaming of the day that I would be able to walk into the shop and pick one out. But one day I rode by the shop and it was gone. Like overnight the shop was there, and the next time I rode by it was an empty building.

I haven't seen new Puchs sold in a shop since then.
