i will respect the ThreadStarter.
but this 81/82 AustroDaimler Michelle is a lowly HiTen frame.
it has been misplaced, underwanted and orphaned. I am in the midst of trying to find it a place in the family’s group (the wife has preliminarily rejected it).
Pictured saddle height would be mine. Unsure of stem/bars, but here is an upright position with Nitto’s tall&short stem and Origin 8 Tiki bar.
Never really had an upright bike as an adult, so uncharted territory for me. Has floppy handling at slow speed given large wheelbase.
I have a silver rear rack that could go on it, black fenders, too. This is a bike for 27" wheels. I won't invest in wide 700c tires.

edit: i should mention this bike, less a few bits came to me thru a Forum member west of Chicago -- thanks, trying to do it justice.

and a schmidgen of little box lining on the seat tube. Lipstick for a pretty lady. Puch2500 f&f.


very clean, garage queen.
