Well that makes things a little easier, doesn't it? :D
Thanks so much.
I really, really want a mixte and have been searching ebay, Craig's list and local thrift stores, I haven't found one yet but I hope to soon. I was wondering if I find a mixte with drop bars can I put different bars to sit more up right on the bike? Also how do I know what size bike to get? Do I just guess based on my road bike size?
Please Help. Thank you, Jones.
Fern's little sis in on Ebay and she's a mixte with all original parts including the aluminum crankset- Fern is green with envy! Except the Brooks saddle. Thanks to Sheldon's Retro Raleigh page, she's a 1976 and the same size as Fern (21.5 in). Somebody's got to get her!

That bike is beautiful. I wonder why they won't ship?
Dunno, but I'm tempted to find someone in the area willing to pick her up and take her to the LBS to pack her up! Not that I need another one, but she's way too cute.
I looked up the name of the lbs, I was thinking about calling them and asking if they could pick up and ship the bike for a fee. It seems like such an odd thing to do and if you have plans to bid on the bike I won't, after all you found it first.
No, please- I was just hoping she'd go to a good home. If no one else wanted her, I might have tried.Quote:

Maybe you can email the auction lister and see if they're willing to deliver the bike to a local bike shop?
Maybe the shop would be willing to package it & mail it to you if they didn't have to pick it up?
Jones, you are in California. Tons of mixtes where you are. Do a search on your local craigslist or on ebay. A lot of people don't call them mixtes, they just call them ladies or women's bikes. That's how I find them.Quote:

That shape looks like Sandra's Legnano. I can't find the pic she posted, but here is the pic of it before bigbossman on bikeforums built it up for her.
