The other is a Raleigh Celeste ladies bike, sturmey hub looks well used and in need of a proper clean.
 
Plenty to admire there... nice to see a Simplex derailleur working its plasticky magic at the back, and I love the chrome fork crown and large flange hubs. When I see flat town bars, I usually want to slap a pair of drops on right away, but they look great on Super Sprints. That's a really good find.
 
Can't believe someone was going to throw that away :shock:


My friend who volunteers at a place called Action 21 (Charity) had this bought in from the local tip:

That Otta is beautiful.....wanna swap??... :LOL:

looking at the Puch i`m thinking touring dropbars with brown tape and a brown leather seat...
 
just started stripping it bearings are very good, frame number is 5404594

which means it was made on the 54th of april 1959.........4......... :shock:

although that might be inaccurate ........

i`m just going to clean up the frame for now, a bit of touch up paint here and there .....and.......er......i dunno really........
 
pers. I dont think, that its from the 50s - more likely late 60s or early 70s - but I will ask someone here in Austria, who should know that ;)
 
:shock:

you mean there arn`t 54 days in April???!!!

damn these cheap calendars........

:LOL:

any info gratefully recieved..... ;)

Sounds good, are you getting Brooks bar tape and saddle? :)


Unfortunately the Ottadini sold for only £200 on ebay, my friend and his boss both thought they could've got a little more for it though.
 
one week on and 25 quid poorer

new tyres lots of cleaning and drop bars, rough rebuild for photo purposes

I thought i might get away with the levers.......... :shock: DOH!

new ones on order......
