Hello All.
I sold new a nice ladies Austro Daimler mixte in about 1980.
I have recently reaquired this bike and am interesting
in selling the frame for $100 plus actual shipping.
It is in reasonable condition considering age and use.
Pictures would be made available to interested parties.
email me directly at okmain@hotmail.com
or Robb@501main.com
It currently is equiped with blacburn racks front and rear.
Phil wood hubs.
Sugina triple crank.
I plan on keeping the parts for another project but
am more than willing to part with frame and fork.
