Will wonders ever cease? First I buy a mixte then Mel brings one over out of the past and then today I pick one up that was leftover from the Goshen College bike sale. I now have three to decide what to do with. The one I bought may be left alone for now. It is in good shape except a little cable work. The Pink Pinto may just get cleaned for now. And my latest Mixte will get most of my effort for a while. It is an inch taller and closer to my size. It is a 33 year old Raleigh. It needs the most work and the paint is beat up so I plan on painting it. Let’s see….a Nishiki, a Pinto, a Raleigh and Fuji for parts. That should do it for now. Unless I would happen to find a Batavus or Follis.................
Hey Steve, thanks for the great photos and interesting info on mixtes. That Pinto is neat and I'm glad to have some images to go with your story today. I'll be looking forward to working with you again on Saturday.
ReplyDeleteUncle Steve! you are a HOOT!!!! ASK and YOU SHALL RECIEVE, or SEEK and Ye SHALL FIND! however you want to look at it! this just cracks me up! Wonderful!!!!maybe you should change the name of your shop to Mixtes! Village Cyclery! Now is this bike pictured a sand color or a light gold? kinda hard to see the color. What color I am seeing I like, it does not look ugly to me. So what size is the Pink Pinto from France? I know when I was over at your house the red one looked bigger, was I imagining things?
