Several years ago riding by JR's Salvage, JR waved us in to show us a bicycle someone had dropped off. Unusual in that it was a mixtie frame and it had 27 by 1 1/4 wheels.  Those wheels got my attention -- the size most of my bicycles have.  The wheels were solid, not rusted, and true -- that concluded that! Without much negotiation at all, I bought the mixtie. It was complete, in need of a lot of TLC, but for its age (later discovered to be 1984) in pretty good shape. Got it home, removed the wheels, changed tires, and used them on another bicycle, and stored the mixtie away for a very long time.  Never ever thought much about resurrecting it.  So it languished in the garage attic for quite some time. Then for some reason, I got interested in a folding bicycle -- no good reason why, but I did. Found a Zizzo Ferro on Amazon and gave it serious consideration and then thought -- why not put the Mixtie back on the road instead ? Note the seat post which is frozen in the frame -- THA
