My Wife's Mixte "Gomme de visage" moved on last week. My wife never warmed to her after her first ride where she managed to get tossed and a very nasty abrasion to the side of her face as the result. The Name translates to "Face Eraser".

We believe it was a 1984 House brand bike for Gregg's bikes in Seattle. It is a Corsaro "Cabrio". I had been slowly building her up as parts became available. She came nicely outfitted with full set of braze ons including double bottles holders. Suntour ARX derailers front and rear. Diacompe 500 brakes and a nice set of rando bars. As I acquired it the back rim was bent and the front was a cheap replacement.

I was building her out as a Touring bike. I was looking for a set of 7speed STI's for it to make riding it as nice as possible for my wife. This was her first drop bar bike. I found a very nice set of Araya rims and a triple crank just a week before I sold it. I was going to repaint it a deep metallic green with Cream colored head and seat tube's and I was going to paint up a bike for me to match.

The lug work is EXACTLY like the lugs on a 84 Miyata 610 I had and I suspect that Miyata was the builder but could never confirm.

The good news is the new owner is ecstatic with it. So I feel good about that.
