Heres some pictures of my first attempt at a fixed conversion. The bike was given to me by someone I was working for, it was just sat in his garage not being used. Its a lugless steel frame, not anything of notable quality but really neat clean joints.
Ive kept the origional headset, bars, forks and SR stem. I had the frame stripped, blasted and powdercoated in gloss white. Seen as the only piece of original equipment of any quality was the SR stem I gathered together some more SR parts (suntour seatpost and pedals and silstar crankset) to finish it off, all polished up with wire wool then autosol. Kept the original wienmann front brake, added a new Selle turbo saddle and fizik honey brown bar tape.
Think it looks pretty good, only had a quick pedal the other night down the road, just had a operation so got to wait 6 weeks till I can ride it again.
Found it very difficult to find any detailed info on the Puch bikes, but I do know that they seem to be a mass produced type of bicycle.
Anyway, heres the photo's. Let me know what you think!
