Perfect Peugeot Mixte

http://gainesville.craigslist.org/bid/3835125074.html
1980 Peugeot Curved Mixte 3-Speed Townie - $320 (235 nw 8th ave)



Minty 1980 Peugeot Townie. French made cromoly steel curved mixte with excellent paint and decals. 3-speed Sachs internal shifting hub with coaster brake. 700c Rigida wheels. Perfect fenders drilled for skirt guard, integrated rack, original bell. Working generator lighting system. New Schwalbe Delta Cruisers. Well preserved and great riding French classic. Stop by The 8th ave Bike & Coffee House to test ride or talk bikes.

Bike & Coffee House, I can get behind that.  That chainguard is perfect, really amazingly perfect.  The headlight is too, like a giant hood ornament, 9 billion spoke wheels, gleaming fenders.  So French.  The thing I love about bikes like this is everywhere it's all geometric it's a big busy clash of straight, hard lines, and everywhere it's curved it's simple and clean.  A dress guard would be a fantastic edition
