She's so pretty. Where did you get her (if that's not a nosy question)?
I love it! I've never really seen a mixte that color! Cool!

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!

super cute---love the name, too. I'm still on the hunt for a quality vintage mixte myself.
She's going the distance...

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