Ouch. Still, because you are close to Mercian, you can have it done right.

I, for one, will be very eager to see the results. It sounds like it will be just beautiful.

cheers!

I'm currently exploring 650B to use on a vintage frame that is on its way to me now.

It they will fit (to be seen), I'm going with Grand Bois 42cm tires. The fans of this tire say it is even...

Well, Congrats!!!

Drop a note to Mercian, along with the serial number. They should be able to give you the full details. My own KOM Mercian is 27.2, but I wouldn't go by that.

There is a...

Fascinating to watch the final minutes for the Holdsworth-built Claud Butler mixte. It would appear that British bidders do not like/use sniping software. I suspect it goes against their sense of...

Now watch the Claud Butler go cheap. Only 6 hours to go. I love watching those I cannot buy!

Rebecca,

Thank you for the offer! So very kind.

I was/am off in the deep out back of Asia, so I missed your message. I just crossed from Laos into Vietnam in the central highlands just an...

Really. I'd love to live in the UK. My wife is even British. Ain't happening tho.

I have friends down in deepest, darkest Dorset, but they ain't bike people, so the idea of asking them to pick...

Maybe. But I'm guessing that the poor title to the listing, ugly photos, and general condition will either escape wider notice or simply not be worth the bother to many. You may get lucky here.
...

Oh, good.

The fact that it needs work may mean most will pass it over. That frame is VERY special. I see a couple nasty rust spots, but it no damage that looks structural. You can clean and...

Okay, the usual disclaimer: No relation/connection to seller.

Sadly, it's UK only. It is also in serious need of work. I'd throw most of the bits & pieces on it away. It's the FRAME!!!!

The...

Sorry to see her go...

This bike has been sold.

I will need an answer here, as other people are evincing interest.

Please do respond ASAP.

I am willing to keep it off Ebay. Actually, I'm really happy to keep it off Ebay. And I really like the idea of finding it's home here.

I'm not in a huge hurry, but would like to feel that...

Want just the original drop-bars set up?

How's $350?

According to a gracious PM received this morning, there IS a 57cm Peugeot mixte on the D.C. craigslist. Don't know if they'd ship. I merely pass this one on to those who need the bigger frame.
...

Actually, there are mixte frames in 56. Sometimes, even larger. They are rare, of course, but they do exist.

Many of the smaller frames have longer (virtual) top-tubes than the seat tube length...

This will go to Ebay as a last resort.

I'll entertain offers here.

Bike Forums will be next.

I just don't really want to go to Ebay, unless I must.

Anyone?

We may have to chat...

;)

I love my wife. More significantly, she loves me. That would be much harder to find.

Trust me, she'll have to listen to me moan about this for ages. (Or, she'll have to forgive my next bike...

For Sale: Bright Red Nishiki Mixte 49cm

Well, feel my pain. I LOVE this bike…, but my wife does not. Period. No mixte-type bike for her. And I’ve been given my marching orders to sell this. ...

Lots of moaning, groaning and whinging from me. All to no avail.

I have my marching orders.

That sweet red Nishiki is going up in the For Sale section.

The small bike shop in my mother's town, where we were visiting this summer, handles the Electra bikes. The 8d is a very, very nice bike.

There's been a loooong discussion on the Classic...

Just in case someone is even considering...

This is from Chas, the technical guru at the Gitane web site:

"Colnago Sport frames and complete bikes were 2nd tier models offered by Colnago. They...

Okay, it isn't "really" a mixte, as it the single down tube.

BUT, it IS a Colnago and it is priced to match. It's small @ 50.5cm.

They put their Reserve as $500. $70 for shipping to USA is...
