Post World-War 2 Frame. [bikes]

Right here is a dramatic puch frame i had stored for about over a year. I got this frame from Hackney and now is sold to a friend of mine, Dana. Just now i got my curiosity on the Puch and finally had the motivation to search it on the net, and what I found was mind-blowing. Puch only start re-producing bicycle frames after 1949 and until the 1970s. And looking at it, it looks like it came from the early 50s. Pics:

The frame is quite heavy. But theres absolutely no doubt it is weak, its stiff as a bull. Would need a lot spirit-soaked wipes to get the rust off then we gona spray paint the frame metallic black but leave the front lugs in its raw metal state. Some chromed forks are gona go on this one so I reckon it'll be tough lookin with some blingin..
