I bought another bike! I've been looking for a vintage mixte that is a bit of a fixer upper. I'd like to repair it, replace some components, and generally use it as a training ground to learn about bicycle repair and maintenance. After months of browsing Craigslist, I came across this beauty last night. Tonight after work I took the plunge and drove 70 miles (each way) to get it. I don't know much about it yet except that it's a Centurion LeMans - maybe from the early 80's? I'll post more pictures and close ups this weekend. I'll be posting updates as I fix her up!
Her name is Rose. :) Had her for two hours now.

ReplyDeleteWoohoo! Another girl fixing up her bike! Glad I'm not the only one with a bike buying and fixing up obsession.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a nice one. When you get 'er fixed up, make sure to submit her to The Mixte Gallery so you can show her off to the world. (Okay, to the three people that regularly read that blog ;- )
ReplyDeleteNice bike! I'm glad you found what you were looking for.
ReplyDeleteLovely bike! It sure is addictive, isn't it? :)
