Show us your mixte!

I found a 1985 Peugeot mixte on eBay in my size. White.

Good thing I'm broke. I don't need another bike. I don't need another bike. Even though I would like something that I can slap a rack and panniers on...

Built with pride in Japan, rebuilt with love in Washington.
Found an old Sekai mixte for $50 on Craigslist. Stripped it down, repainted it, and put on all new, modern components.
I call it "The Orange Creamsicle." Something, light, fun, not too serious.
She is one sweet ride, and good looking too!

In the process of "re-purposing" my 1979 Puch Princess. I was thinking something much closer to her original state i.e. drop bars. This is where we're at, at the moment.



Problem is, having ridden her like this for a few weeks, I really am not getting on with those non-aero brake levers. So I'm thinking of putting Tektro levers on. Was mulling over whether that might look a little ridiculous, but feeling very reassured by forestbiker's re-build. That looks fab!

Can't afford a respray just now but hopefully soon.

UPDATE: Went almost 100% modern in the end LOVE IT!
