Current Projects chat and miscellany

Finally (almost) finished the Harry Hall mixte I've been building for my girly-wurly. It's yet another pastel blue-green affair with brown Brooks leather bits. Still need to get a pair of double-stop cables for the Weinmann brakes. The mudguards I bought from Condor this week look ace with the Tortec rack and Brooks basket in my opinion. Original bike bought from Vintage Haus here on the forum just over a year ago (see here)

Wow. I'm building a mixte frame for my girlfriend and that is almost exactly what I had in mind. Far better executed than I expect I'll manage on my budget but simply wonderful. For me, straight in here. Not enough mixte porn around here, I've been drawing on Rivendell bikes for inspiration.

Do you mind providing a full spec list? Do you have a "RAL" for the colour (I was thinking of a slightly blue-er celeste but that is lovely)? Those mudguards are perfect (I was wondering where to get hold of a set like these but I think you just solved that. Are those the Wolber/Mailard wheels from the original sale? The ones on the bike I have are badly rusted so I've been looking at 27" rims but can't find much that I like on my budget.
