    i got her at the Bike Doctor in Frederick but she's an Electra, so available pretty much anywhere.

    I was working check points for an Alley Cat race on Friday night. This is where everyone met at the end.

    What kind of gearing does she have?

    Crankin, there are several different models with different gearing. It's the Ticino model from Electra (electrabike dot com).

    The small bike shop in my mother's town, where we were visiting this summer, handles the Electra bikes. The 8d is a very, very nice bike.

    There's been a loooong discussion on the Classic Rendezvous list about the definition of mixte. Frankly, I think the 8D passes the test.

    Regardless, that is a lovely bike and a fabulous color!

    I looked them up on the Electra site....SWEET!!! but $$$ I'm not sure the 8 is enough gears for our hills....Is it a heavy bike? Steel, right?

    I don't know very much about bikes at all, but that is so pretty! I love the fenders too.
