After a long dry spell, I ran across a find today. Nothing special, but clean and pretty - this should get a decent sized squeal out of some lucky coed.

For $20, what I found was a French made 10 speed mixte. Badged with the "Regina" label, it is a Hi-Tensile mixte with steel wheels and cottered cranks. Malliard high flange hubs with Atom QR skewers, Mafac Racer centerpull brakes, steel chrome toe clips, and Simplex shifters/derailluers. Naturally, the FD has cracks and will need replacing. Tires and tubes are good, the bike is very clean, and is a very nice burnt orange color. Even has a Plescher rack! All it needs is new cable housings, a FD, and a quick scrubdown.

Looks a lot like Peugeot to me. I never heard of Regina - any of you guys able to help out with additional info?

Here's a couple of quick pics, after I loaded it onto the truck.
