Vintage Purple Puch Bicycle

Well maybe not very purple, maybe more maroon.

Only when I was resizing these to post did I notice that this particular model seems to have something called 'Weinmann Semi Automatic' brakes? Or perhaps just the cable adjustment is semi automatic, either way, it does not seem to be something that has caught on. A little light googling suggests because it leads to uneven brake usage over time, and therefore crashing! Good luck to this rider then.

Here it is, in it's up till now un-crashed state.

The Puch Calypso Bicycle

Perhaps Puch was trying to soften its image a bit when it brought out the Calypso bicycle.

Perhaps the friendly happy 'Calypso' graphic was meant to make the bike extra fun and appealing to young people?
The flowery surround for the normal Puch badge, meant to soften the edges, invite you to have fun?

Really though it just looks like another very sensible, reasonable and straight forward steel framed 3-speed. We've seen another sensible, reasonable steel Puch on the Safari before and this one is just as nice, and I do like the Calypso graphics really!
