You guys might remember that I have been looking for a mixte for my mom who has Rheumatoid Arthritis. Well, I finally found one, and she's PINK!!!

I absolutely cannot wait to hook her up with albatross bars and new honey brooks saddle. I am so excited!

Lovely:)
But it's not pink, it's "Dusty Rose"

That water bottle is definitely pink, though.

I think she's only "dusty rose" because she's dusty! She could use a good cleaning!

Hey that's not just any old mixte....that's a fully lugged steel Bridgestone!
It's got value to some people who collect, so make sure it gets a good lock when your mom leaves it outside of stores, etc.
Nice nab! :D

It's got value to some people who collect .... or nab bikes :mad:

Make sure Mom knows "I'm the kid who likes you best" and locks the bike.

Hey, bring her over to TE :D Lots of us riding with Arth.

You won't be able to talk about the drunken night out with the fire crew anymore but ... :rolleyes: Mom's welcome here. She's got a nice bike :D

Thanks Lisa! I knew I had a good feeling about this one!

Thanks Trek! Mom doesn't know she's getting this yet. It's going to be her Christmas present, so maybe you'll see her on here in the new year!

Oh I'm so glad that you found Mom a great mixte! It's really a beautiful bike!!!! When you get it all cleaned up and have the new parts on, be sure to take more pics. I can't wait to see it when it's all ready for her (and will there be a bow on it for Christmas Day like it was for me when I got a bike for Christmas?). :D

Lisa's right. When I was searching thru the pics for the decal, I went, "Whoa, she's found a Bridgestone!"

If your Mom doesn't like it, send it to me.

Hey southernbelle! If mom doesn't like it, I'll be keeping it for myself-hee hee! I'll keep you in mind though if it doesn't work out.

That is a great looking bike, I don't see any rust. It looks to have been well cared for. I'm so glad you found one, all of the one's I've found have been too big. Don't forget to get front and rear blinkies too.
