Hi Everyone,

I was hoping you guys could shed some light on this particular vintage roadbike. I'm working with a Austro-Daimler Puch "Pacifica". The bike itself is over 20 years old and is in working condition. I recieved this bike from my Dad who purchased it in '82 because he did not have a car to work with. The irony is that I have a car but because of gas prices I have reverted back to biking.

Anyways, I was hoping you guys could help me with any info on this particular model. I read the decals and the frame is a "Puch Original 2700 Chrom-Molybdan" and the front fork is labeled as a "Puch Original 2500 High Tensile Fork Blades".

Now my main questions are the following:
How much is this bike worth if anything?
Is this bike worth doing a complete overhaul on and riding as a commuter roadbike?

and finally
Would this make a good fixed gear bike if I decided to go that route?


I know this is asking a lot from my first post but any advice, criticism, ect. is greatly appreciated!
