And it is sooooo much fun to ride!

I passed a hot-carbon wannabe going uphill while riding Trek420's mixte. Sexy-boy got pissed and tried to pass me back, but I roared ahead and he couldn't. (though I did have to stop at the top of the hill and catch my breath, and he passed me after I stopped) Chris Robinson ( http://www.robinsonww.com/ ) did an amazing job of rebuilding that mixte!

She was in a skirt and flip flops to his lycra and clipless pedals

My wife rocks

More steel, more better, the commutermobile. This is a GT Outpost trail, about '96-7. Powdercoated by Robinson, new wheels (Mavic Crossride), and now sporting a Wald wire basket.

I think at that time I was wearing flowing flappy capris. Not a skirt.

But I accept the "rockin'" designation. That little event still warms my heart on cold lonely nights... Her 70's Motobecane mixte is SWEET. Everyone should have one!

My mistake. I think there's even a picture here, not of the "chicked" biker dude

you on the ride.

Well, it fits you better than me. I'm a little stretched out on it. I don't ride it far though, it's become me official "I can't stand it, I'm grabbing a helmet and riding around the block before I go nuts" bike.

Just keep checking your condo's "FREE" pile till you find one a neighbor threw out.

I actually searched your story and found how you found it and how your LBS built it up for you. That is too cool. Way to go

That is the INCREDIBLY sexy 15 year-old lugged steel Waterford cyclocross bike I bought from Limewave right here on TE.

That bike deeply changed my life. (thank you thank you a million thank yous, dear Limewave!)

So, have you seen the sweet steel bike that I passed on? It is up in the general forum under, "shout out to kacie tri-ing." She made it look SO much prettier than I did!

**BleeckerSt_Girl** · 10-21-2010, 08:16 AM

mmmm..... my buttery custom TIG-welded steel Luna.
