Marlyn Mixte, anyone familiar with this bike?

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

This week I was given a "Marlyn Mixte" to restore.

Anyone out there familiar with this bike?

Pix later...

Update: One of the local vintage cycling chaps looked at the bike and said it is a Phillips Frame. :)

The ladies bike is rebuilt, Pix attached.

One of the Historical guys had a look at it and the Bike it is a Marlyn Mixte from the 1960s, assembled in Melbourne on an English Phillips (Raleigh) Frame.

On his advice I have left the paint original.

The Wheels were rebuilt on Shimano Hubs:
3 speed coaster rear
HiFlange front
Stainless Steel Spokes
The original rims were sandblasted and powder coated silver.
Tyres are new Duro medium pressure 26x1 3/8.

Headset and bottom bracket were also serviced,
All the old chrome was sandblasted and powder coated silver.
New inner and outer shifter cable.
New Bell.
New Grips

Costs to date, $157, so I will try for $200 in the Sunday Times. :D

Those seat springs are beauties:)
I think you would have to set it up nose down if a big momma buys it :D
Little Jackie on the other hand might be launched into orbit if she hit a decent pot hole :eek:
