Puchfinnland's new girlfriend....
 

Well she will have to do...for now.

I have done my best to keep my mouth shut about her, I met her at Velo Classique in December and I just fell in love.
Her father,Wayne was at first reluctant to let me take her out. No money was good enough, but I discovered the way to Her heart is by a good bribe to her father with NOS parts. An accord was met and we continued an online relationship.
Slowly I swooned her with gifts of jewelry...

A campy triple setup really impressed her
, tubular mavec's
Then she wanted more...
Campy seat post , record front and rear deraileurs
Campy headset.

She is spoiled!
She is not a great looker currently , I am seriously considering a new dress for her.
I'm dating her at 1976 era, I'm not really sure.


Will setup as triple w ultra six 120mm spacing
I have. Campy cable stop,cable guides and lever posts, I think a visit to frank next month will take care of this.

I have an ISO list of missing bits for her.
Left crank arm in discussion,
Short Cinelli 1a stem
Rear record brake

I always find true mixtes, with the double top-tube, to be great engineering and design. One of these days, I'll get around to building one of these as a sports/touring bike;

forgot to mention, slowtostart's Brooks saddle will be mounted on this.
thanks again for the saddle!, I will never forget!

Nice :thumb: Now only if there were 64cm Mixte's!

So, what's her name?........ She kinda looks like a "Hannah"......

I will call her Lucy....A broken Heart for me

How about "Patience"?

You always fall for those Austrian dames, dont'cha?

No kidding! Hell I would settle for a 62!

Aaron :)

I think you might need a real girlfriend, man.

I confirm, I need a real girlfriend!

BTW...I just found another AD mixte at my LBS, this one has 27" perfect original Austrian Tires,
Its 100 bucks, It needs cleaning....
A daughter of a friend might fit this one.
I only have Eyes for Austrian babes....

No more bike pix, need pic of the girl.

I have no interest in Girl Pics, I want the real thing!!:bang:

I'm a fan.

This somewhat plainer Austro Daimler mixte is a very nice ride. I think you're really going to be pleased.
