Just saved this bike from the graveyard: originally gold, it was stripped, repainted, and rebuilt into a "city bike" or "fitness bike" for my wife. I am now jealous of my own creation!

Nice, Stephan. I like the build.

Be careful - you may find yourself riding it. I got a different French brand mixte a year ago with the plan to keep the components. Then I changed that plan and decided my oldest girl and her friends might want to ride it. Now, that's changed and I'm the only one that rides it down to the mailbox and for fun rides with the kids. It's quite comfortable and a lot of fun to ride.
