French utilitarian jobs. High end werent particularly refined. Good for fixed training. Heavy. They made mopeds too. Probably still do.

Yeh, Austrian thats it - sorry. I bought one in France one year because it was a lot cheaper than a similar Raleigh in the UK but it rusted really quick - it had the thinnest chrome ever. I got the wing-nut wheel releases nicked too. Not a great fan of that one - it was just an excersise in 'buying abroad'.
I think Puch made cars too. Maybe even lorries and guns and stuff. Anyway - the bikes were low rent and everything was made 'conservatively'. Puch weren't very forward looking, maybe a bit too 'commie'. Youre maybe better looking for an old 531 frame or similar.
