Something About Mixte
Posted this in the original "show" thread, but thought might as well post here too.
What is it about mixtes that makes them such a fun ride?

Put together this Peugeot mixte for my daughter.
My wife rode one like it before she was born and we did a long tour down the Canadian and US west coast.
Switched out the bottom bracket and crankset after destroying the cottered crank--have since learned how to remove them properly.
Also traded the plastic Simplex derailleurs for a Suntour set.
Restored Peugeot with upgraded crankset and derailleurs

That's a nice looking bike, non-fixie. What crankset is that?
I have a couple of mixte projects that have been hanging in the garage for a few years. I bought this Bridgestone 200 for $25 about four years ago. It was meant to be a build for my daughter and I to tackle. Here it is as purchased.
It's been in this form for a long time now..
This bike was given to me by a local metal recycler. It's a big frame, maybe 58cm?

Finally finished this Bridgestone 200 for my daughter this year. I'm happy to report that she loves her bike, and commuted 450-500 miles over the summer on it.

Bikes are okay, I guess.

Not mine. This Motobecane mixte looks like a 22"-23" frame and is fully Euro equipped. Someone should grab it. $180 in NC.
