Does anyone know of Jerry's Bicycles in Detroit area?

We need more, lots and good ones.

Lugs, BB, DO's, HT, any #'s, good decal shots even if they are bad, full, and straight on side view at least.

Welcome aboard, glad you found us, you're in the right place especially if you help us as much as you can.

;)

Those brazed on cable guides on the right side lateral tube are unusual. I don't recall seeing those on a Mixte before.

That’s a nice mixte frame. I lived in Plymouth in the early 00s but not familiar with Jerry’s.

My mixte is lower-end but also has the cable guides on the right top tube. I figured this was common on mixtes with the brake bridge up top.

On a mixte that's called a lateral tube, right lateral and left lateral.

That stem looks dangerously high and appears to be leaning forward, ready to pull out of the steerer tube.

Yep, nice long quill on that one. Appreciate the concern.

Probably due to the side pull brakes. Most mixtes I've worked on the rear brake cable goes down between the lateral tubes.

All good, great pics, hopefully someone will wander by and educate us. ;)

Any numbers on the bottom of the BB or anywhere?

I think a centurion Mixte I have has the same brace on the lateral tubes at the seat tube.

Pretty sure that brace was used by others, don't know which but think it has been discussed here before. :foo:

Our 81 Centurion Lemans Mixte brace is similar, but I don't think it's the same.

You are probably correct about the brake bridge on the seat stays. Your Mixte and the OP's both share that setup, and I think it would make running the rear brake cable outer a bit easier with the braze on cable guides on the right lateral tube.
For some reason searching mixte images doesn't show this for me, I'm glad you could show us yours.

_____ APPRoVED sticker?
 
The sticker with the fancy "M" with a sphere on top with _______ Approved underneath should be a clue.

Or is that "Mount Fuji", with the SUN over it and not an "M"

Ahhh, the Centurion I have has the same lateral tube brace as your centurion, it is not the same as the mystery frame.
