That's unusual, not a common bike. I had to put a bid on the eBay one, would have been rude not to
Steyr -Daimler also did an upmarket bike with a funny name. Can't remember exactly, seem to remember it came in black....... going to have to Google it as its annoying me I can't remember.

very nice though. Is that black dura ace?
midlife
Guru
Yep, black Dura Ace. There was no black rear mech with "Dura Ace" on it when launched so the crane mech was "blacked" up to complete the set.
The black hubs also came along a little later along with a black Dura Ace rear mech and the very rare black brake levers.
The chainrings came drilled from the factory but were not real holes just half way into the metal. They also made plain black undrilled rings which were much cheaper.

His one?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/20-Aende-...521066?hash=item3f6d78022a:g:m5EAAOSwpLNYB6Ez
Yep, quite small. A lot more convincing than the white one, this one drilled as per a later Pongo frame with no chainstay bridge.
Did you get the Gumtree Mistral ?

That's not bad, Oxford isn't a million miles away from me. I don't know if it's just cos it's all black but it even seems to have a certain "Teutonic" look about it!
