<------------------ SOLD ------------------> 1981 Austro-Daimler Inter-10

Circa 1980 / 1981 Austro-Daimler model Inter 10 bicycle

This particular bicycle was purchased new back in 1981 and has since that point in time been ridden less than two miles distance, and even then, not ever out on the open road. And while there are a precious few paint nicks to be found as a result of having been stored and moved about over the course of nearly thirty years (...principally, along the left side rear chain stay), it is otherwise in what most people would consider to be mint condition. It has always been stored comfortably in a climate controlled indoor environment.
