SH> I'm not sure if Puch ever liscenced them but it sounds like a SH> frame called a Rigi. They were great criterium and hill climb SH> bikes with ultra short wheelbases.
SH> If its what I can recall the seattube was replaced with two SH> (aprox 10mm) tubes set about 2cm apart, just enough room for the SH> tire to pass between. I raced with a friend who had one only to SH> find the one major flaw, the front deraileur wasn't a braze on, SH> which would make sense, but a custom made mini clamp on type.
SH> It was a really nice, light and fast bike. I wish I had one. SH> I hope that might help.

SH> I can't help with that particular Puch i'm afraid, but i got a question SH> about Puch myself: SH> I saw a Puch frame at an exhibition in Vienna last year that was a SH> special design for uphill TT, with two thin "seattubes" that allowed SH> the rear wheel in betwen them for a shorter wheelbase ("Bergmeister"?) SH> Question: was this a prototype or were thse actually sold? If so, how SH> many are around? SH> i could provide a (bad) picture if it helps.
