809.1YOU'VE GOT IT BACKWARDSUSMRM2::PJOHNSONThu Aug 04 1988 13:381
    Why would you buy the bike first, and ask if it's o.k. second?
809.3Can you say "Puch"? I knew you could..DR::BLINNBluegrass: music aged to perfectionMon Aug 08 1988 16:264
        And, of course, there's always the philosophical question of
        how you pronounce "Puch" -- like "poosh", or like "puke"..

    re last:
    
    I'd say.. beginning as puke, but end as in loch (eg Loch Ness).

    IF YOUR RIDING IT IT MUST BE OKAY! MAYBE IT'S HEAVIER THAN OTHER
    BIKES, SO YOUR BE STRONGER!  MAYBE THE COMPONENTS ARE NOT AS SMOOTH,
    SO YOU WILL APPRECIATE THE BETTER BIKE WHEN YOU GET IT. I RIDE A
    PUCH THAT I BROUGHT ACOUPLE YEARS AGO, I STARTED RIDING 5 MONTHS
    AGO AND I AVG 80 MILES AWEEK AND I HAVE WONDERED THE SAME THING
    AND THIS IS WHAT I TELL MYSELF,  IF I KEEP AT IT I WILL UPGRADE
    NEXT YEAR BUT FOR NOW I JUST RIDE!!

    Ken,
    
    Appreciate your reply - I now know I'm not the only one in the world
    with a Puch bike.

    Puch also makes Austro Daimler, my old bike (I ought to sell it one 
    of these days; I upgraded to a Trek 1500 last year). Very nice machine.
