Ah, so my sister is now a member of the Wild Mixte Club!Originally Posted by Trek420
She dropped the bike off at the LBS this morning for a tune-up, plus new cables and tires. Sadly they didn't have any inexpensive red bar tape, so she's going with black for now. It's supposed to be ready by early next week. (Just in time for the weather to turn lousy.)

got my Mixte, named Mitzi back from the shop yesterday and rode it home. The complete makeover cost $240! (only 25 bucks for labor, seriously!!!)
It occurred to me that this bike is my very first 10 speed. I will try to take some photos tonight when i get home. It was too dark when I got home yesterday.I like Bikes - Mimi

here she is with borrowed headlights! this bike has a B66 Brooks saddle that I have owned for 15+ years, reflective white sidewalls, new brakes, wheels, fenders. Now I can't say "i don't have a bike, my bike is in the shop" instead I'll say 33 degrees is too cold for me to ride in the mornig!

What a beautiful bike, Mimi! The spoke card adds a nice touch of class, too.
