Austro-Daimler Olympian

This is an Austro-Daimler Olympian. It has been hanging in our garage for more than twenty-years. It was a mid market bike, not as high end as the Ultima and the Superliecht. It is in pretty good shape, having been ridden very lightly. A bit of rust on the head tube. It has Huret components (long gone French component manufacturer), Weinmann brakes, Reynolds 531 tubing, and Belgium made Wienmann rims and KKT pedals. It is a good example of how confused the corporate identity of Styer-Daimler -Puch was in the mid 80s: the head tube logo is Puch, the side tube Austro-Daimler logo mentions "Made by Puch" and the lettering is blue) and the down tube has three logos: Steyr, Austro-Daimler and Puch. At the time, Steyr-Daimler-Puch was the manufacturer; it was soon broken up and that was the end of Austro-Daimler bicylces in the US. Some other features: there is an A-D imprinted on the shoulders of the fork and a Puch on the seat stays. The gearing on the cranks are 45/54. Weight of this bicycle is about 25lbs.
