Carbolite (thought that might be a fancy CroMo mix but is apparently Peugo speak for HiTen !!)
Either way ... with a scrub and set of new whitewalls, inner cables turns into a nice cruiser... and very very light for HiTen

Mixte looks the goods, except for that rear rack. Do the right thing and get her a nice wicker basket for the front.landscapecadmonkey wrote:Peugot mixte spruced up for daughters retro rider.

Good spot cray.... hadnt even noticed. Rack now gooone. But im not sure about the white basket. She isnt really a girly girl.... but will explore some form of carry device up front with her.cray- wrote:Mixte looks the goods, except for that rear rack.

Wow... hadnt even spotted that, but your right. She is very attached to her Converse hi-tops, so might have to look at some form of spats for those shoesmunga wrote:i just keep looking at the laces. tell her some gruesome stories of broken feet caused by laces stuck in chainrings.

I used all my super human resolve not to do a full resto on it. an amazing ride in my eyes.. not too many kids bikes around in this condition from what I have seen.

I dig seeing a young one on a classic ride. You did a great job!

Careening further OT in my finest traditions - I actually deliberately shorten my laces for this reason. Work out how much shorter you can get away with at each end, unthread 'em, cut them in half at the middle, cut each length of the inner end of the laces and tie together in your meanest, tightest, unforgiving granny knot and rethread! et voila.... chainring avoiding laces.landscapecadmonkey wrote:...so might have to look at some form of spats for those shoesmunga wrote:i just keep looking at the laces. tell her some gruesome stories of broken feet caused by laces stuck in chainrings.

This is way all my fixed geared bikes stay on the floor in my garage. I am paranoid that one of my kids is going to spin the cranks to watch the wheel spin and get their fingers caught up.HappyHumber wrote:.... it was the severed fingers pictured on Sheldon's fixed gear pages, and a lightly mashed fingernail of my own from one my early FG experiments that got me paranoid about anything getting caught in drivetrain - especially a FG drivetrain.
A derailleur drive train is fine. No tension or freewheel effect.
Makes me shudder just thinking about it.

Cheers.LG wrote:Nice job, and congrats on getting your kid out on a classy retro bike. Does she handle the friction stem shifters ok? I had to swap them on my daughters shogun mixte to indexed grip shifts to make it easier for her. Looks like your daughter wi'll be too big for the bike soon, so any plans for her next mixte?
She had a bit of a whinge about the shifters, but we tend to only ride this one on the flat. leisurely rides, so she is fine with it (now). She has other bikes for serious distance / hilly rides.
She is only 5'5" at 15 so not going to grow all that much taller apparently (so says all the kids height calculators). Seat post has plenty of extra to come out, and might go to bars with less pullback if the cockpit becomes cramped.
She said that all she wants as her n+1 is a 'green' bike, so looking for a clunker that i can paint 'green' with all basic parts.
