Mark H’s Takara Mixte

Posted December 13, 2010

Monday Morning Mixte: Mark H’s gifted Takara Advantage Mixte.


I wanted to submit a bike I just finished for my daughter’s birthday. It’s a 1980’s (?) Takara Advantage mixte. I bought the bike with some Taiwanese components but swapped out a few for better stuff — Diacompe brakes and Suntour levers. I had to finish it off with a white leather Cardiff saddle. She loves the two-color red and white scheme…

Thanks Mark

    Way to go, dad! Nice Takara: looks great!
    Now all she needs to do is wear something matching and she would be able to represent any number of sovereign nations in the next parade!
