Show us your mixte!

I saw the first mixte for sale ever in my area. A Peugot, with a matching men's 10-speed Are the Peugot's Italian? And that's why I don't want to rebuild one, right?

Peugot is French. Meaning it would need French threaded parts which are no longer made. So it would have been more trouble than you wanted to deal with. Italian bikes, on the other hand, are beautiful things (except they take right-threaded fixed BB cups).

Great find on the Raleigh, Mayanorage. The Super Course has Reynolds 531 straight-gage tubing in the main tubes.

French, Italian...I just know I don't want to have to work on it.

Thanks, Deb.

Hey all,
I just saw this posted on our local cl and was looking for some input:

It's a sanwa and I don't know anything about them. It's getting late here so I'm heading to bed but I will call in the morning to see if it's available.

TIA!

I looked at this last night and wasn't it $20? This morning it's gone. Did you get it?

Welcome to the mixte club I figure if there's a club we should have jerseys, a club ride, a charity road ride, at least matching socks.

Someone else on TE is about to join the mixte club. I won't say who's having one built.

Uforgot - I got it! It definitely needs work so I'll be asking lots of questions soon. It's orange and black with suntour components which if I remember right are low level components? It's a double with shifters on the - not down tube - but on the headset? Up high anyway but not on the handle bars.

The wheels need to be replaced but I'll need to have some help with whatever needs to be done. I haven't measured yet to see what size it is but it felt "small" to me. The front insignia is missing which was a bit of a disappointment and there is some minor rust on the frame on some scratches. How do you get rid of that and match paint?

I'm excited about my first real bike project though!

Stem mounted shifters.
There's not a thing wrong with Suntour components. They were highly regarded back in my day. now where's my rheumatiz medicine?

Wow! That's terrific. You are going to have a great time fixing it up. Keep us posted with pictures.
