These are images of my old Austro-Daimler Superleicht (Serial No. 6163975). It was built up with Campagnolo Record components and tubular wheels. The bicycle was light at the time. Not anymore: the frame alone must weigh about five pounds. This frame or the Ultima (which is the same frame but with Super Record components and a different finish) was used by the Seven-Eleven pro cycling team in the 80s. The cream paint is known as champagne. Austro-Daimler was targeting the high end of the market in the United States with this model. It was a high end racing frame and the market probably remembers it that way. Here's some more information on Austro-Daimler Bicycles. This link has more background on Austro-Daimler.
