I keep staring at this 531 frame Puch trying to figure out if it really has never been ridden, as appears to be the case.

There is not a scratch on the frame nor fleck of dirt or grease in the drive train. (the dust you see is just loose, from storage. I should wrap it up.)
The question then I guess, should I just keep it off the road? while I have no plan to sell it, is its value significantly enhanced if it has never hit pavement?
and does anyone know anything about this model. My sense is Puch was like the Schwinn of Austria and made some pretty mediocre bikes. But this one has some extraordinary details and components.
