Pretty Mixte

Mostly mixtes and other bikes i like.
frakintosh: Public Rivoli (Special Edition) This is not for you if your bike doesn’t have gears or brakes, or if you don’t wear a helmet. Lumping cyclists with those folks is like saying everyone who drives is like the kid around the corner that has the really loud exhaust and the neon on his Civic that he won’t stop driving through school zones at 90 mph. Anyway. I wanna ride this thing to work every day.

Meet Roxy, an early 80s Peugeot 10 speed Mixte. We been on many adventures together, but the time has come to sell her.  Sadly the little french 52cm frame is too small for this long legged lady.  Even so I rode her all over Los Angeles before purchasing a new ride more my size this summer.  Since then its just been sitting in my art studio taking up space.  If I had more free wall space I’d just mount it on the wall… thats how much I love this bike…  but she deserves to be ridden.  If anyone out there is in LA and looking for a sweet vintage 10 speed let me know.  

lotusbikes: I found this highly customized Lotus Challenger SX on flickr. I was searching for images in the racks and sacks pool and found this. Perfect for haulin’.

ugmotaur: putting stuff together in photoshop very quickly.  IT’S MAH BIKE, I made it for a contest (wish me luck!). Rejected ideas for the bike valentine:  “Is that a banana seat or are you happy to see me?” oh, and the joke is, bikes are usually diamond frame but this here is not.  It’s a mixte.  So you see it is a bit of a pun.

oohsey: With its mixte frame, the Forever C YunMu lets you ride in long pants or skirt (hey, whatever rocks your boat). With seven speeds, you will have enough gears for most of your riding needs. Throw a bag, or three, onto its front or rear rack. And just ride.

aerofish: So I now own TWO 80’s Japanese mixtes that have been converted into single speeds. One more (maybe a Panasonic to go with my 86’ Miyata & 87’ Fuji?) and it’s officially a collection.
