Here is my first attempt at reviving a classic... 1974 or so Motobecane Mirage, I think, Mixte. I found it for $80 in Pasadena. I added cork grips, tape, added the nice wheels that I had laying around. The cheap steel ones are standing by if I decide to sell it. I added a Brooks saddle from another bike I picked up (will be going back on that bike when I am done fixing it up - Moto Grand Record) I found the classic Cibie light on ebay for $8 and the fenders for $15. Got an old rack that I will add when I get the right hardware... not too shabby I guess.
