Thanks Zen and TriGirl - I am so pleased with this bike!Mixtes aren't terribly plentiful here in the UK. Of the few I've seen out and about and on eBay, the overwhelming majority are Raleigh. It was nice to find something just a little different with this one. The guys at Foffa Bikes (specialist fixie/SS builders) and Brixton Cycles were well impressed: apparently there is a small but 'rabid' (!) cult following for classic Puch frames.
Still a few niggles with the setup to be worked out but hopefully it'll be 100% smooth sailing very soon.
