Thanks. You had more luck googling than I did. All I got was corporate Japanese honcho info. I am looking over the areas you posted. I also am going down another path. Someone on Yahoo Answers mentioned his two "Puch" bikes branded Executive and President. Don't know how he made the Puch connection. Puch was lower end Austro-Daimler from Austria. I know Puch had outsourced manufacturing about that time to Japan and Germany, one with Asian components (my Shimano) and one with European. But I'm still not sure yet. Puch vintage bike info on the internet seems to be sparse.
