Mind you she's a work in progress, rear brake line needs to be run, bar tape/grips, wheels serviced or replaced, new tires and a paint job. But she functions for the short trips to the grocery store and farmers market. I also am planning on a rear rack and mounting a nice wooden box to it, along with fenders.
Looks great, mixte rules!
Wooden box: Just remember not to make it too heavy..
Brake: Is it possible to mowe the rear brake to the coolest place for mixte brakes, on the "stays" between the seat and chain stays? Works best with a centerpull I guess. Thai is one of the really cool things with mixte and would give you a much shorter brake cable with less angels.
