My scrapyard find...

[schwinnmesa]

Yesterday I went to the junkyard and found something interesting...

It's a girls bike and it needs a lot of work but it has the name!!! :mrgreen:

 

[Rat Rod]

Mixte! :mrgreen:

 

[cody-james]

I'm just wondering but is the down tube bent right at the shifter? It looks like it should have a bit more rake in the headtube but maybe its just the picture. Either way cool find

 

[The LT]

That has definitely been in a crash

 

[schwinnmesa]

Dang. It looks like you guys are right.

Are these things worth a lot in parts? :lol:

 

[cody-james]

If it has the simplex parts and mafac (sp) brakes you should be able to sell them seperate,

 

[thirstee]

Looks as if the fork is bent as well.

 

[schwinnmesa]

Yeah, it is. I'm going to strip the parts off and sell them. I guess I'll just keep the frame and fork hanging up on a wall or something...

 

[Markm]

chop, chop.... :mrgreen:

 

[ratina]

Yeah thats a nasty little wreck, wonder what they hit! Still looks like it has good parts though

 

[deorman]

Nice centerpulls, cruiser seat. Oh, spare front wheel for crashed fixie. :mrgreen:

 

[schwinnmesa]

Yeah thats a nasty little wreck, wonder what they hit!

Yeah, really. Must have hit a moving car head-on or something. If only bikes could talk. :wink:

 

[CCR]

... If only bikes could talk. :wink:

this one would say OUCH !!! :mrgreen:

 

[schwinnmesa]

lol, or... "Kill me now!"

 

[gashuffy63]

Clean it up and sell it as "great for someone that needs a bike with a really short wheelbase".

 

[warpigg]

that's a shame. beautiful lugged mixtie.

 

[CCR]

looks like a victim for the outsider13 treatment ... this gold one

 

[mudagoye]

Ce vélo est laid!
