Ok.. I think I'm crazy

I'll join the two of you in your craziness. I'm going this afternoon to look at a lovely pink Bridgestone mixte. http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/n...262513802.html

If it fits and seems to be in good condition (thank you DebW for all your help on figuring out what that means), I'll use it to learn on as I make it into a commuting bike. I'm looking into bike repair/maintenance classes, too.

It's really an addiction, isn't it? I've got four bikes in my basement already (one I'm storing for a neighbor) and I just started riding a year and a half ago. What's one more?

Roguedog, there's a Bridgestone e-mail list (iBOB--internet Bridgestone Owners Bunch) that I joined to ask a few questions about the Mixte. They're very helpful. Just in case you buy the frame. http://www.bikelist.org/mailman/listinfo/internet-bob
