I love the color of that Lotus! So unique!!
Here's an updated pic of my mixte set up the way I ride her. I'd still like to get albatross bars & a chain ring guard, but this works for now. I added the fenders, the basket, the bottle cage, and the new tubes & tires. I also changed out the seat post to a more modern one and added my own saddle.
They are hard to see, but those little white patches on the frame are reflective pinwheel stickers covering up the worst of the rust spots!
I apologize for the poor photo - my camera isn't working so this was taken with my cell phone in low light.

Absolutely not! Can you imagine?
I was actually thinking that I'm going to have to sell this little girl.
There's not much near our new home that would make this bike of any use. And it's just too cute to sit in the garage for the duration of it's life!

Ladies, I am so excited! I think I'm going to take this on as a project. I probably don't need another bike with drops especially if it's just going to be an around-the-town and back-up bike. I'm checking out all the different possibilities on-line and they are certainly drool-worthy. Sandra, my Lotus is like the same color as yours. The honey is nice! Now to read the whole thread to get some good information from you ladies.

Very nice, Zen, thanks! DH said I should sell the bike. I plan on keeping it.

I keep seeing this Schwinn Pixie for sale, or maybe they are different ones I'm seeing, and I am so tempted to buy one for my daughter. I have never seen a little girl's mixte other than this one, but it is super cute and eventually she'll need a two-wheeler, right?
