Yea, Styer Puch out of Austria, they have the patent on the viscous coupling. They built the drivelines for the VW Vanagon Syncro. They also used to make tanks, and some really badass Paris-Dakar trucks.

I'd pick up that frame, Austrian=cool points, also it isn't super flashy=not stolen

150 is insane though, I paid 90 shipped for my Panasonic Sports Deluxe, structurally perfect, some chips/nicks, and the paint was faded. It's yellow, so the faded paint looks awesome. It's getting pin striped right now by a friend to give a little custom touch, then it gets turned into my new commuter.

Panasonic frames are great, just a no frills frame, down to brass tacks
