I Am a Mixte
And one day soon I’ll be the prettiest thing you’ve ever seen. I will shed my stupid seat and my reflectors and possibly lots of other things, and I will loftily roll into Spring with lovely wooden fenders, a vintage Brooks saddle, swoopy Japanese handlebars topped with grips of French cloth and twine, an elegant little rear rack sporting WWII Swiss saddlebags of canvas and leather, ’60s/’70s Campagnolo Super Record pedals*, and sparkling rims with orange Velo logos flashing round and round. My name will be Cake & Ice Cream.
