The 1901 Mixte

[Wildcat]

Made from a late 80's mixte frame, supposed to look like it was made in 1901.

Turned out great. I think you nailed the concept.

wow looks fantastic, im liking those red accents all over! a good looking machine and the bars do take it back quite a few years, a great blend of retro vs modern flare with all the red! Nice!

I’m with Kradus, the red details are well done and thought out. Bravo on a great build.

Very cool looking bike!

Great build! I really looks like an antique as you intended. The accents, the 'skip' tooth chainring. Great stuff!

Yep, you tweeked and 'tiqued this frame and fork just right! Big hoops and skinny tires topped it off.

RaT-ted oN~!

Great job! The details, and color accents are perfectly balanced. Any thoughts on a headbadge of some sort?

For a head badge, it would have to look vintage, like Pope. I've tried to make them before with no luck. I was going to make outline indentations where a badge might have been but ran with it as is. It is supposed to be the first Mixte, so it's a model of a prototype, usually they have no numbers or name brand.

Classy bike. I love the lugged frame, the red accents and classic part choices. Very nice.

Bare metal with Red on a mixte. What's not to like. Sweet ride wildcat. Good job.
