Show us your mixte!

I fixed up this Fuji Gran Tourer. She rides nicely, but needs a different saddle. I am pleased with how she came out.

Those shortie fenders are cute - how effective are they?

Yes, we get a regular trickle of mixtes on eBay (usually not described as such) but most are Raleigh plus the odd Peugeot. This one is a Puch Odyssey, 7 speed, and looks like it could be rather nice (once that crank/pedal is sorted out).

This one looks rather larger than mine (which is a 51 and borderline small for me; I'm 5'4" with 32 inch inseam).

I have the "race" fenders on another bike and the work well. I haven't gotten stuck in the rain yet on this bike, so only time will tell.

Hi there,my first post here,excellent forum.
You all seem to have your finger on the pulse of fine mixtes and I just wanted to ask that you keep an eye out for a customers bike that was stolen last year,it is a green single top tube style with ZIMMERMAN on the downtube also a small daisy (name of the owner) on the bottom of the dowtube just above the bottom bracket.
Daisy rode this bike daily for a little over a year and is heatbroken at losing it,the thief appears to be a professional so this bike could turn up anywhere in the country.
Thanks for keeping your eyes peeled.
I can be contacted at 310-849-1948

That is such a nice bike. Bike thieves SUCK POND WATER.

I hope we find it.

Since custom bikes don't have serial numbers (or do they?) are there usually identifying marks other than paint?

I hope y'all take this in the kindest, most peaceful, friendly, protective of all things, non-violent, spirit it's intended but I hope the thief crashes and we find the bike (unharmed of course) next to his (I assume his) torn, lifeless, bloody body.

Bike thieves suck. That being said while we'll all check Craigs etc I'm afraid with a bike that beautiful and distinctive if the crook has 2 brain cells he's selling the parts for a hit of crack.

Oh, and welcome to TE!c
