OK, I want to talk about my NEW BIKE!!!

[uforgot]

I like it! I wouldn't change the seat unless you don't like it. The seat that came on my mixte is very comfortable. Did you find it on craigslist? If so, if you go see it and find it doesn't fit well, don't get it. It's like classifieds. A black brooks would be pretty cool though! I find that they usually need new tires and chains. The rest is a learning curve. I've learned to change bar tape, fix brakes, change cables, and change handlebars. It's been a relatively inexpensive way to learn about basic bike mechanics.

I find that I can ride a wider range of sizes on the mixtes, so hopefully you are okay. The Bianchi was about 6 cm bigger than my normal size, so I didn't mean to make you panic. I was just in bike lust with it's looks!

Edit: Oops! Saw you got it on ebay. Ignore my craigslist advice...
