My latest project bike — I love the classic styling and modern graphics on this bike. Bonus that it's green and it's made in Austria (probably by Puch). Trying to decide whether this should be a Fixie conversion or a restore to original? These pictures don't illustrate how much work this bike will need.
After five months of on-and-off work, lots of elbow grease and finding just the right parts, it's complete!
The restored 5-speed below:
New wheelset, tires, tubes, derauiller (Simplex), new vintage styled seat, recycled cork/rubber grips, new left brake lever, brake pads and all cables. Ready to hit the street!

Cool bike and a nice restoration! I restored a similar Sears 3-speed bike which has become one of my favorite cruisers. If you still have the original saddle, would you be interested in selling it?
Thanks,
John
Hello-
I saw your post about this bike. I have one and it is a fixie. It's not quite done yet, when it is I'll send you a photo :)
I have a bike almost exactly like that that I've been working on. Mine is missing a lot of the original parts though. You did a great job on your restoration.
Ryan, great job... I have what appears to be exact bike... not sure if you have any parts to help me or advice... im missing an axle nut on the front wheel. Do you have spare by chance or know what thread it is?? Thanks Michael in CT/USA
