Puch Mini?

[ossum]

Hi Folks

New poster here (but I've been lurking for quite a while)

This bike is hanging in my grandfathers garage, and I have been offered it if I want it. I'm hoping to do a bit of a restore, but I'd like to find a bit more about it before I decide what direction to head.

Does anybody know any more about it? I have seen one on the Internet after quite a bit of searching and it was called a "Puch Mini" so I think that is what it is.

I live in Cape Town, South Africa, by the way.

Here is a terrible picture

Weird, the image was working on my PC. I did notice it didn't show up on my phone though. I have tried photobucket too now, can you see it?

I see it now. Looks cool!

While not as well known as other brands Puch did sell a pretty good amount of bikes. They were made in Austria. There was also a folding version.

I bought one at a garage sale in mountain view, CA for $30. and I didn't ride it much so it sat outside for about 10 years. About 10 years ago I restored it and it rides great and looks great. I will send a photo later.
