Zee mixte...she is finis!

:::said in worst fake French accent:::

My 1974 Peugeot UO-18 Mixte before...



...and AFTER!!! Introducing Bonnie!





















Here's Jess taking her for a spin!



Frankie the Pug doesn't look very enthused.





This was truely a labor. Of love? Maybe...depends on who you ask. If you ask me, then definately yes...but DH? Not so much. I did the parts shopping and he did the wrenching. There were only a few parts that went on with no issues. I think the bar tape and kickstand are the only two I can recall!

Stem: Nitto DirtDrop (and 2 hours of sanding!!!)
Handlebars: Nitto Moustache Bars (tan cork tape with amber shelac)
Brakes: Sheesh...I forgot, but the first pair I bought didn't work.
Saddle: Brooks B12 Ladies (hella comfy, btw!)
Pedals: MKS Touring Shorts (from Rivendell)
Rear Derailer: Simplex S001 Short Cage
Front Derailer:Simplex 102 Front FDF102
Shifters: Silver Shifters (from Rivendell...LOVE them!!)
Brakes: Dia-Compe Mod 750
Wheels, freewheel and chain: I don't know what brand, but City Bikes in Portland hooked me up. Neat shop, btw!
Tires: Bontrager, but I might get some knobier Shwalbe ones later.

She rides real nice and smooth. It's so nice to be able to get on a bike once in a while without having to 'dress up.' I've been commuting to work on her for the past few weeks (when it hasn't been raining!) and she's really fun to ride!

Hope you enjoyed the pics!
