Is it an old french tour bike?
where can i find this bike? or one really similar?
please help! ill give you ten points!

in oregon!

Yes, it is old but not necessarily French.

The bike design is called a mixte (pronounced mix-TEE) and most manufacturers made their own version in the 70s and 80s. The most popular makers of these bikes were Motobecane, Atala, Gitane, Kabuki, and Takara. Fuji made one as well, I think.

The only MODERN makers that I can think of are Miyata or custom builders... and they ain't cheap.

Soooo, I suppose your best bet is to search around at yard sales, charity stores (like Goodwill or Salvation Army) until you find one. There are plenty to be had... just finding them is kinda tough.

Here are some in Oregon from Craigs List
