Adeline Adeline Bicycles

I am sure that by now, most of my readers have figured out that I have a love for beautiful bikes. I came across another great line of bikes called Adeline Adeline which, as their slogan suggests, "is a very nice bike shop." I can just picture myself riding down the streets of Paris on this bike - maybe one day!!

The Mixte Bike

Have you ever seen a more beautiful bike than this! I know that I normally only ride vintage bikes, come to think of it, I may never have had a new bike, but I think that this bike may have changed my mind!! Inspired by the French bicycle designs of the 1950 and 60's, this classic Mixte model from Linus Bikes, would look excellent with any of the Parisian outfits I have picked out for the season. As the bikes slogan is, "looks great with trousers." 

I can just picture myself riding down the streets of paris, with a baguette and a bouquet of flowers in my basket .... or riding down the dirt roads near my farm which is probably more likely. But it is fun to dream.....

Salut Mes Cheries,

Welcome To My Blog!!!!

Welcome to Ruby Tuesday, a blog for fashion, design, sewing and travel (my four passions in life). I thought that this first post of my bike would be a great way to start out my blog. First of all, I love my bike and collecting old bikes, of which I have a great collection that will be revealed to you in time. I actually found this bike on the side of the road, in really rough shape. To most people, it may have looked like a big pile of metal, but to me it was inspiring. In no time at all, the bike doctor had it all fixed up and it was ready to go. The only problem was that the paint was a bit chipped. So, for the first time ever, I took the entire bike apart so that I could paint it. I chose a beautiful pastel yellow - the color of a lemon meringue pie. And Voila, this is the end result.

P.S. It was a perfect day to wear my new leather jacket from MANGO.

Until next time,

Karen
