Please explain. I don't notice and understand all of this stuff yet.

I got a dose of reality about my tiny apartment and my burgeoning bicycle population. I need to get one of those wall racks that stacks up 2 bikes before I get another bike.

But I'm keeping my eyes open for some local mixtes, and I'm gonna ask my LBS guys to keep their eyes out, too. (they sell a lot of used bikes www.recycledcycles.com )

Anybody got a favorite stacking rack that will also hold a mixte or slanted top-tube bike?

But you have 3 bikes already and sKnott will want another bike for the H.S. bike club soon I bet. Go for a 4 bike rack :)

I use one of those frame adapters. Works great. I got mine at Nashbar a couple of years ago, but I notice that lots of places have them now. I need to get more of them. Very handy.

This one is a Mixie, not a mixte. Guess it's for when you want to mix it up.

this one's a little pricey:

Oh, knotted, here's another one!

I almost didn't click on it. Advertised as a flat bar road bike:

That explains why it's listed as a flat bar road bike. Sold the mens and didn't bother with the description.

Yes, a very good thing because I can see this ebay things as becoming addicting. I was looking for bicycle themed espresso/cappuccino cups but instead I found this:

Ding, ding! I can't wait to put it on my bike!

Of course I looked at bikes, too. :eek: Barely made it off the site without bidding on one. Fortunately the ones I liked were not my size. Whew!:rolleyes: ;) :p

Sorry about the OT
