Pirate of the Plains
Finally riding a big boys bike
This wknd I found an ad for an old bike that's headbadge says it's a Robusta by Csepel A Hungarian Co that was active before 1900 it looks like. They bought some portion of their components from Puch Steyr Daimler or something close.
I was able to find very little english language information about this company other than this article that I Found that a somehow connected with the Budapest tourism office. According to behead badge and this article that bike was made post 1950 after a sale and move of the factory. The only thing that makes me unsure is that that seat looks to be much older and the almost art deco looking stem seems older as well. Were they using old components given to them during the sale or or is just a frankenbike?
I would welcome any opinions or knowledge about the company or about the bike or components pictured from Somebody who's wheelhouse is prewar, Torrington or Puch because mine certainly is not.
