Project Mixte, part VI - Completed bike

The Mixte project was actually finished almost a year ago, but I just haven't had the time to finish this series. Below is the official participant photo of my girlfriend with her (then) new bike from the last years Stockholm Bike in Tweed event. I think the bike turned out quite fine. I'll add detail photos when I have more time for that.

Project Mixte, part V - Handlebars


Here's a photo of the handlebar and stem of the mixte project bicycle. I think it turned out quite nice and classic. Unfortunately the Shimano shifter doesn't fit properly into the groove in the Brooks grip, so there is a minor gap between the two. Also, I would have preferred a more traditional shifter, but my girlfriend wanted to have the one pictured.
