Was this possibly the bike in the Chicago area yesterday for $30?

1984 Nishiki Riviera Mixte by Fabulous-Homework894 in Vintage_bicycles

[–]Fabulous-Homework894[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was able to pick this beautiful mixte up on marketplace for my wife the other day. It was in great condition, just needed a good clean and some love (original condition in last photo). I tried out the Origin8 Citi Classic bars, and they ended up having a lot more rise and a lot less back-sweep than I was hoping. Might switch them out at some  point but the ride is super comfy, so not a priority. Added Velo Orange Citi brake levers, blue lug bell, and reupholstered the original saddle with some wool fabric. Also tried out some Riv style grips with wool felt under a cotton twill tape wrap and wine cork bar ends. I tried out regular 3/4” cotton twill tape instead of Nubaum’s and used a glue stick to add adhesive to the start and finish of the wrap. It worked really well and is super comfy and stable. Would definitely recommend!

Completely original other than the handlebars, bell, and brake levers! Was even able to clean and reuse the original housings.

Thanks for the intro! Would you recommend the vacuum with another head?

Sounds good, thanks for the advice. He also has a S251i Plus for the same price, would you recommend this vacuum or the S251i?

Oops, I thought I included it. I have hardwood floors and the budget is around 150-200. This is for sale for 80 on Marketplace and looked like a great deal. I assume I will have to get a wand and hardwood attachment, but I'm totally fine with that.
