Although this photo is old and it no longer has these wheels or tyres on it and my daily ride to work is my Raleigh beater which I haven't photographed properly yet.

The extra mixte for your money is hilarious. Did you put that saddle on it, Dan??
― Laurel, Thursday, 18 October 2007 21:31 (seventeen years ago)
Hahaha no! It came pretty much as you see it. I replaced the back tire when it blew, and put my old kona's flats on it when I broke one of the pedals.
A shop I took it to once said it's a Japanese frame, but I have no idea what brand. The mixte bar was added by a previous owner.

That's the one. I didn't have the £ for a pricier bike anyhow, or the chops these days. The frame's a good fit; it's a manly bike & I'm of the female persuasion, but with a femme saddle it's comfy enough. I won't get to ride it until March now, but I'll be training hard then. I've been dragooned into riding the Dunwich Dunamo :/

My city ride. Bought from a dude in the valley down in LA, shipped it up to SF when I moved here. Swapped straight bars out for drops. New brakes levers/stem/saddle/seatpost/pedals, but the bronze chainring+calipers are original, same with the Suntour shifters and derailleur. This type of Suntour group has some kind of "auto-trim" function that happens when you shift front chainrings, according to Sheldon Brown.
Was tough for me to take the clips off, both for practicality and style reasons, but this is my main mode of transport and it's time for me to start wearing adult shoes sometimes.
Oh and definitely too small for me (every time I get on my road bike I'm surprised at how comfortable I feel) but I'm pretty emotionally attached at this point.
