This is one cute mixte bike. If it were my size, I'd snap it up. For the Buy it Now price of $37, what a deal!!!
Sandra? Anyone?

And then I found more mixtes: I just can't stop myself. I'm sorry to post all these links, but they're all just so pretty- and they need good homes. My question is this: where were all these bikes when I was looking at buying a mixte, huh??

This Gitane mixte is pretty, too.

And even tho I have all the bikes I could ever need, I still have a compulsion to look at the homeless ones on eBay. I'm hopeless, I know.... :(

MY questions is this: WHY have you stopped looking at buying a mixte? Did you buy one? two? three? If not, there's no need to stop now! :p

I wouldn't buy a Motobecane mixte on ebay. Look around, they are everywhere. Probably the one I see the most. I've bought two for $10 each in the past year at local flea markets. One is going to be a lawn ornament, and the other I stripped completely down for practice because I don't want to mess with the French parts, and my lbs didn't either. If you are going to pay for shipping, at least hold out for a Nishiki or a Raleigh!

Ok- that is a dumb subject. ;) I just wanted one of US to buy it. Ok- truth REALLY be told, I wanted to buy it, but there are divorce papers ready to be served if I come home with ANOTHER bike. :eek:

Notice she says "any of these bikes". -Which means she's probably bidding on a bunch of other bikes at the moment. :cool:

Here is a small Nishiki mixte (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150189086537&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:US:1123) on ebay.

If only it were a bit larger...

drooling over the Nishiki....
That IS one pretty bike. It's a bit small for me, too (at least that's what I'm telling myself). ;)

I know what comes after your . . .

"If only it were a bit larger . . . I'm sure Sandra would buy it!" :D :D :D

edited to add: it says pink rose in color. It sure looks orange to me. I'd love orange.
