Gotta love an old Mixte: Part 3

One day I’m looking for a mixte to rebuild and a couple days later I have not one but TWO! After posting about getting the Nishiki in Indy my niece emailed and offered another. Years ago I fixed up an old PINK Pinto mixte that she had ridden in a 120 mile lung association ride. She was hooked on cycling and has been riding ever since. The Pinto has been hanging in their shed for many years and is a little dirty but should clean up fine. We first thought of repainting but the decals are in good condition so it will have to stay PINK. The tires even hold air but wouldn’t be trustworthy so with new tires, tubes, cables, brake shoes and bar tape it should be ready to ride. It has center pull brakes, 3 piece crank, 1 1/8 inch tires and fully lugged steel frame. It is a great survivor.  AND IT IS MADE IN FRANCE my favorite bikes!
Thanks Mel!
Also if you look back to my post of Dec. 6th 2011 you can see two yellow mixtes with flate bars and one red on with dorp bars, both Batavus brand from Holland. The are in the far left side of picture. I sold lots of them. No one esle had them at that time.
