I just fixed one with a fingertip full of grease, hehe. But best of all this Austro Daimler Olympian. I think the only things original to the bike is the frame, the RD housing cable stop, and maybe the Mafac Racer on the front. Year I have no idea yet, as I just got home and unloaded everything. Even with all of the low end junker parts tacked on, it's pretty stinking light. I am thinking 23-24 pounds? Not feather light, but lighter than expected for the parts on it. 27.2 seat post.,,,,BD









My kingdom for a correct fork!!
Nice score. 27.2 post and what looks like some box lining on the seat tube would have me thinking higher end for sure.
