Show us your mixte!

Wow.
I hope you get it. That bike is pristine.

I'm thinking it's been 'restored', rather than being original. What do you think?

I don't care

[Tri Girl]

wow- it's GORGEOUS!!
Crossing fingers it will be yours.

Lots of moaning, groaning and whinging from me. All to no avail.

I have my marching orders.

That sweet red Nishiki is going up in the For Sale section.

A couple of nice 48 cm mixtes on DC's craigslist:

My birthday is coming up.

Well, I finally caved and took this home with me:







There's a bit more rust on it than I want - but it's supposed to be my beater bike that I ride to the store or the library and don't worry if it gets stolen.

So I am sitting on my hands to stop myself from buying it all sorts of things and fixing the rust. The guy I got it from mentioned that home depot had a metallic blue paint that was about the right shade that he had been thinking of using to touch it up. I may just do that - enough to stop the rust, but not strip the entire frame and repaint it - because then I would be tempted by red or orange, and I actually really like the blue.

I want want want this mixte:

Of course, I want it because I might reasonably be able to afford it. If I win the lottery or something, I'll be getting a Betty Foy frame.

In the mean time, this is my one and only bike. I didn't even know what a mixte was when I bought it.

sweet bike, Antaresia!
