Show us your mixte!

[uforgot]

I was coming home from St. Louis and I thought I would stop in at my local flea market. Tucked back in the corner was this mixte. Grand Touring Motobecane. I did a little research, dated the components and it's one of Motobecane's 1978 mid to upper range touring bikes. It's in great shape, just needs cleaning, and I'll probably grease the hubs and bottom bracket. I don't think it's been ridden much. No visible scratches. It had a black seat, but I put the brown brooks on to see how I liked it. I like brown and blue together, but I'm not sure about this. Otherwise I haven't touched it yet. I really like how the top tube is one tube and then divides to make the third seat stay. Not sure if it was really worth the $12 I spent on it! No, I'm not divulging the whereabouts of my flea market. Giant bike for $18, this one for $12, Raleigh Gran Sport with Campy components last year for $10. I think I'm in the middle of a gold mine.
