+===== 1991 Puch Thomisus =====
+By this point, Puch are selling rebadged Bianchis.  Shimano 200GS (1991).
+A copy of the [[mantis:start#s1987|Mantis Valkyrie]].  Why does the Mantis look beautiful, while the Thomisus with its identical arresting structure, looks cheap and busy?  Does the department store quality paint and components of the Puch really make that much of a difference?  Yes, apparently...

+Puch ceased to make bikes in 1991.
