Yes, the Raleigh is actually too large for me as well...anyone need a nice red Raleigh mixte?
Edit: Thank you, uforgot! I do love my mixtes. I've had two others, another Nishiki Sport (a later year) and a beautiful blue Peugeot (which was given to a member of the 'other' forum). The Centurion does indeed have brown cloth tape. It's just brown cloth with a sticky back--not shellacked down even. It is original to the bike, too. When I went to purchase the bike (from a CL ad in Portland), the gentleman selling the bike had a matching men's version. I tried to entice my husband into wanting it, but no go. Too bad...if I'd known better I would have gotten it anyway. It was his size, AND it had bar cons. Live and learn!
