Here's what the corner thrift coughed up this week for $30: an old ('68-'72, I think) Puch & Roebuck 5-speed. Straight tin, good chrome, lights even work, still got the original Semperit whitewalls. It's got an old Shimano Lark derailleur, plus something I've never seen before; the spoke protector is labeled 'Speed Selector' and has a slot in it marked 1 through 5 (see pics). Above the slot it says 'Turn this disc to select gear changing point'. What the heck is that?! Anyone know anything about it?
Goes down the road great. And check out that chainwheel; the bugger's the size of a manhole cover.
