perhaps I spoke with too broad a statement.. What I said applies 100% to the one I'm working on....but its the only Pug I've touched, so I can hardly speak for the lot.
As far as price... well I rarely think of vintage bikes based on what they cost new in 1970-whatever...its ancient history now
...to me its a frame and its components....a poorly painted (albeit not poorly built) lugged steel frame that is much lighter than most gas pipe frames, and a pile of half-plastic components that have seen better days
That said, its nice to know that this particular P0S isn't necessarily representative of the entire brand.
