1977 Austro-Daimler "Vent Noir II"

The black wind, it's smoked chrome finish has an incredible depth and color .... I recently purchased this Vent Noir II from it's original owner in Indiana via a listing on Craigslist.  Perfectly and carefully packed, it arrived in excellent condition and other than swapping out the saddle for a Brooks Professional I haven't even had to wipe it down.  It's an elegant riding bicycle that lives up to it's name.

1976 Austro-Daimler "Ultima Superleicht"

This "Ultima Superleicht" was given to Eugene "Gene" Rito by Steyr-Daimler-Puch in appreciation for all the hard work Gene and his team at LifeCycle had done on designing and developing the Austro-Daimler brand in the U.S.  This very bike was used in the 1976 A-D catalog.  Except for the water bottle, it's 100% original.
