See, that is one of the reasons I want it ... I prefer index shifting but I don't want to be the person who screws up a bike in that condition. If it's already done I feel no guilt.
(I have no similar qualms about taking apart a well-ridden twelve-speed and making it a single-speed, it's just that this one is so untouched.)
SOMEBODY, please buy that bike before it breaks my heart! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=280169876470
And if you buy it and it doesn't fit you, in all likelihood I will buy it from you!
EDIT: I'm serious. PM me if you want.
Ooooo, that IS one beautiful bike! :)
I'd love to own it, but it's too big, I've got too many bikes already, and my DH has too little patience for ANOTHER bike in my (err... "our") house. ;)
I hope somebody here buys it and loves the heck out of it!!!
My husband is assuming that I will buy it, but I am only semi-employed! I haven't had a pay check since September! Baby needs ... uh, baby has everything she needs thanks to a grandma who bought her clothes up to size 3T.
If I buy it I will probably give my Puch to my husband to ride with a baby seat on it. (A mixte is a great bike for a baby seat because of the low stand-over height, and that Puch is manly enough for Daddy to ride.)
I'm so excited! I figured out what the problem was with the saddle on my pink mixte! This bike has a seatpost with a clamp for a double rail saddle. I had the clamp flipped around the wrong way. When I rotated it 180 degrees, there is plenty of rail on the saddle to push it back far enough. My knees will be so happy!Quote:

As KnottedYet would say, "I'm a jeeenious!" (or just not very observant when I put the saddle on in the first place...)
I love your bike & set-up, divingbiker. Way to run errands without the car!
About that seatpost clamp, I have often seen that kind of clamp on backwards. I'm glad you noticed that problem. :)
LOOK WHAT I FOUND IN MY PARENTS' GARAGE
