Happy belated birthday to me - a custom mixte!

So it is almost my birthday - and my gift to myself is a custom bike to replace my stolen one.

The back story? Last year, as I turned 40, I thought about getting a custom bike, and decided that it was completely unnecessary. And then my bike got stolen earlier this year. So I guess that was the universe's way of telling me to do it. Combine that with sizing updates on the Soma Buena Vista which would have left me with a crappy fit and a lack of production mixte options.

It's getting pretty close to new bike day - my Sixth Law frame is getting some finishing touches before it is off to powder coat. So I thought I could share a preview. I have a couple more weeks to go!

Here are a few progress pics:

Rear Rack - in progress

I'll also share the final build here!
