We all know that Puch built Austro-Daimlers, but the last two A-D bikes I've found have Puch head badges!

My latest find has a Puch head badge, Austro-Daimler on the down tube, Puch engraved on the seatstays, and A-D engraved on the fork crown. It had a 600 group.

Both these bikes show no sign of being pieced together (or at least not after manufacturing), so I was wondering if it was a sign of the last days of A-D? Example: http://chuck.kichline.com/bikes/puchler.jpg
