Yes, mine says "Made in Austria." In the US, anything made in Europe is a rarity today. Most everything we have is "Made in China," including most hi-end road bikes.

My Puch looks like the lower picture in the brochure. In fact, I think it is that bike.

Our ride today was pretty fantastic, considering it is still winter. It was overcast and rather dark and cold (cold toes!), but being on the bike after so long off it was worth the minor suffering. I really shouldn't compare winter here in the Western desert with winter in Sweden. I think if most of us had to endure what you live through in winter we would be a much tougher people. As it is, we complain if it snows all morning, and we have more than 3 inches of snow on the ground. We rode for 15 miles along the southern edge of the Great Salt Lake and then back. Lots of birds are already migrating north - spring is almost here...
