    Found Mixte for Mom!!!

    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!

    .... or nab bikes

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

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

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

    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!
