Puch Bergmeister-before and after
Finished this a short time ago and already sold it on to a new owner and even though it was a lower end boom bike I thought I'd share it because it really was a pretty cool bike.

Cool graphics - I love that about some of these bikes, regardless of how it fits into the quality hierarchy. What's going on with the rear rack?

Yeah, the graphics on this one were really neat.
Rear rack, you mean the angle? Not sure, as you can see it was on the bike when I got it so I just left it on there.

Neat bike - and you did a great job. However, if you couldn't level the rack you should have taken it off.
I do love those graphics.

Being that it had spring loaded arms for holding your items I didn't think it would hurt to leave it and the guy that bought it didn't seem to mind it.
If it was a bike I was keeping I'd have been more fussy about the rack.
