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.
