I have older Arabesque on a Miyata 310, 65cm, which I picked up. I will post, to unload that, since I am a 56-57cm rider.

I love my Superbe Pro...

i hate to hijack this thread, but since it is discussing Austrian bikes... i have an unknown, but the LBS thinks it is a puch. it has first generation dura-ace front and rear derailleurs, first generation dura-ace crank (sugino super mighty on the left), suicide shifters, campy hubs and pedals, weinmann carrera brakes. i don't know what kind of tubing since it had a few coats of paint on it when it found it - so no decals, etc. it doesn't have any holes in the head tube for badges and no serial numbers anywhere - i stripped it to bare metal. all i have found is a 73 on the head tube lug - assuming the angle. it weights 21 pounds as is fitted with a brooks saddle.

My understanding is that the BB axle length is mainly detemined by the crankset used. If you use a Superbe axle with Superbe cranks you should end up with the correct chainline. The only thing I could see going wrong would be if you mixed double/triple components.

I'll take a look.

Let me know when you're ready to sell the Miyata - I've been looking for a bike for my 6'7" brother and this might fit the bill nicely.

The Miyata is about 95% now. I just need to go back over it for spring. I refurbished it, over the winter, and need to do the spring tuneup. It does need a saddle. I can email photos. I have a bike donation project going on, so this would help fund that nicely, if it works out.

Thanks.

Could be a Puch headbadged AD. I believe the early eighties-mid eighties came both ways. I thought black was the color of first gen DA. Do a google for Austro Daimler.

I found 2 identical cable guides, they're Shimano and have a cable guide on one side and a cable stop on the other. I might have some more but these small parts tend to find their way deep into boxes of 'stuff' so they aren't easy to find.

PM me about the Miyata when you get a chance.
