Build thread: https://ratrodbikes.com/threads/ruby.116676/


This build uses a classic Mixte frame from 1987. The paint is original with a little touchup. My favorite part is the Sram Automatix 2 speed freewheel hub. With the skinny tires it's the fastest bike in my stable.

The Kendas are smooth. I laced the wheels with 2 red spokes to one silver.

The hub shifts at about 10 mph.

I left my homemade brake bracket unpainted. The bike was made for 27" wheels so it needed this to use 26" wheels.

That's the seat I got from you back about ten years ago.

Very cool. I am pretty sure I bought that in a bike shop in Malaysia

Malaysia is just one of the many places the wife and I plan on visiting in the future. I'll have a lot less time to spend on bikes now that Covid restrictions are lifted.
