Wow Sandra,
Blossom looks beautiful. Much much better with the Albatross bar instead of the flat bar. And the Brooks saddle looks much more appropriate.
The gumwall tire and the grip on the bar really finish the look.
Congratulation and many happy miles.

That's neat Lisa! I have the Nantucket wicker basket from Young's Bike shop for the front of Blossom and I really like it. I forgot to put it on for the picture. I was all excited about the new bars and stem.
Yes, I'm embarrassed to admit, I have a mixte fetish.
I hope I'm getting over it. We both love them at our house, hubby too!

That bike reminds me Lisa, I'd love to put fenders on one of my bikes, just because I love how they look. I must confess that I am a wimp and do not ride in the rain though, so it would add weight for only the purpose of looking good.

I have mixt feelings about it.
I never did put fenders on my own bike despite having planned to originally, simply because I find I rarely ride in the rain and I don't commute to work. I got over the tempting looks aspect of it and didn't really want to add weight for no compelling reason.
When I pick up fresh bread from the bakery on my bike, I get them to slice it for me and put it in a bag. Then I whip out my decidedly unromantic bungee cord and strap it to the top of my saddlebag for the ride home up the hill. Not very "french" I'm afraid.
