Masi Soulville Mixte 16"

[uforgot]

$600. I recently purchased a Merlin road bike for a song, so I had to take stock and something has to go. Yes, I still need to buy a lawnmower. Unfortunately it's the Soulville Mixte. I have a Nishiki mixte that I paid $40 for, that is still my first love, and I can't seem to part with my Surly, so here it is. My loss is your gain. First of all, their customer service is first rate. When I first inquired, I received an email from the masiguy himself! $600 plus actual shipping. I probably put less than 30 miles on this bike as I was suddenly interested in making my Nishiki into a single speed, couldn't get used to the coaster brake, and the Nishiki became my commuter. Here are the specs:

Frame Masi double-butted chromoly steel w/ rack/fender mounts
Fork Masi lugged chromoly steel
Crankset/BB Suntour 42T chainring w/ Guard w/ FSA square taper BB
Derailleur (F) N/A
Derailleur (R) N/A
Shifters SRAM i7 Twist Shifter
Bar/stem Masi ARC Bar
Saddle Masi Retro Leather w/ Springs
Seatpost Masi alloy 27.2mm x 300mm
Wheelset Ritchey Girder XC rims; SRAM i7 Coaster Brake Rear; alloy Front; S.S. spokes
Brakes Internal Coaster Brake
Tires Kenda Kourier 40c Wire Bead

The black pic is for reference only. This bike is green as shown in the other pictures.

More pics available upon request.
This bike retails for $875.

Everything original on the bike is included. I'm not including the rack and trunk like you see in the pics, but I did shellac the corks and they match the saddle now!

It's a beautiful bike and a mixte to boot! I'm willing to drive up to 200miles to deliver, only if you point me in the direction of a local cycling trail!

WOW- I was just looking at those online. They are soooo pretty. I hope someone snaps it up quickly!;)

Oh, me too! I can't believe how many bikes I have accumulated. I may as well just set fire to $100 bills. But of course I have to TRY them, don't I? This Merlin (http://forums.teamestrogen.com/showthread.php?t=29884&highlight=merlin) has me excited like no other...

Claudia, you're killing me.:rolleyes::eek:;)

I wasn't killing you, just torturing a bit. Worked didn't it?:D

[sgtiger]

Yeah, well, at the time I wasn't thinking about buying. Just coveting. Dh, being the total enabler, said I should treat myself and consider it an early birthday present since he won't be able to spend it with me. I knew there was a reason I keep him around.;):D
