Motobecane as High Art

Another bike from Sky of Velo Cult. The post for the last one was called Peugeot as High Art; this one is right up there in the same category.

Excellent monochrome theme

A fully lugged Mixte is one of the coolest frames you can start with for a fun city bike with class.

Here is the Motobecane that I built up for my wife Rachael.

Julie S.: Mixte Addict

I am not about to propose an intervention for Julie; no 12-step program is needed for an addiction like this. You can never have too many mixtes! If you want to see more of each mixte, click on the mixte’s name for a link over to their writeups on the Old Ten Speed Gallery.

Hi Doohickie,
Most of my bikes find their fame over on Cameron’s OTSG. I have 4 at the moment (2 have to go for room and are advertised).

Hugh’s Motobecane

Here’s another submission that sat in my inbox for way too long…. so long, in fact, that the updated pictures of this bike were posted over on Old Ten Speed Gallery before I got them up here.

Very cool site. I have attached a few pics of a mixte that I just sold to a young lady in Chicago.

A Motobecane with some pizazz!

David B.’s Super Mirage

Wow. Just….. wow.

A beautiful bike, beautifully photographed. I’m kind of speechless, David. Thanks for a great submission.

Wow. (Did I say that already?)

Basically your run of the mill Motobecane Super Mirage I bought and modified in 2006.
