Somebody HAS to buy this!

This is one cute mixte bike. If it were my size, I'd snap it up. For the Buy it Now price of $37, what a deal!!!
Sandra? Anyone?

And then I found more mixtes: I just can't stop myself. I'm sorry to post all these links, but they're all just so pretty- and they need good homes. My question is this: where were all these bikes when I was looking at buying a mixte, huh??
This Gitane mixte is pretty, too.

This Raleigh is nice:

Another Motobecane:

Or this Sears Free Spirit (I have one just like it). $4.99? Wow!

And even tho I have all the bikes I could ever need, I still have a compulsion to look at the homeless ones on eBay. I'm hopeless, I know....

The Motobecane with Vitus tubing is nice.
Oil is good, grease is better.

I wouldn't buy a Motobecane mixte on ebay. Look around, they are everywhere. Probably the one I see the most. I've bought two for $10 each in the past year at local flea markets. One is going to be a lawn ornament, and the other I stripped completely down for practice because I don't want to mess with the French parts, and my lbs didn't either. If you are going to pay for shipping, at least hold out for a Nishiki or a Raleigh!

Ok- that is a dumb subject.
I just wanted one of US to buy it. Ok- truth REALLY be told, I wanted to buy it, but there are divorce papers ready to be served if I come home with ANOTHER bike.

Notice she says "any of these bikes". -Which means she's probably bidding on a bunch of other bikes at the moment. Originally Posted by sandra
