In the seventies Austro-Daimler released one the nicest 10-speed bicycle
catalogs ever. It had lovely large color photos and tissue paper between
the pages. There were only 5 bikes in it. Here are the 3 that we all
spent countless hours looking at and dreaming about owning. The catalog
promised that their top-line bicycle, the Ultima “would leave
the factory in a specially prepared foam-filled case.” Sadly,
the only one of these ADs I’ve ever ridden is the Vent Noir (nice!).
