Julie, that is SUCH a beautiful bike!
(did I mention that I want a mixte? did I? Huh? Huh? don't ask me where I'll put it, though...)

Knot, do you check Craig's List and Ebay for mixtes as soon as you get up in the morning? I do, it's sick but it's sort of like a treasure hunt except that I have 3 so I need to stop there. (I'm trying to put up a Bianchi SS in the For Sale Forum now.)

I have just one bike, first one since I was a kid 40 years ago....and I won't get my second bike for another 5 or 6 months.
I am the queen of restraint....but only with bikes. I make up for it with biking clothes.
(Though much of my biking clothes are worn every day too, like the wool stuff, base layers, vests, and tights)

Here is a good nice clean single tube mixte for someone that needs a smaller frame, 49 cm. Somebody grab it!

I'm watching that 49... it's just my size (well, I ride a 48, but it would probably work).
Now I'm just wondering how I'll explain to my future divorce lawyer how ANOTHER bike was worth it.

Yes, it will probably work. I ride a 52 and my mixte is a 53. I hope you get it. It looks like it is in great shape.

I don't know if mixtes are more flexible, I'm 5'1" and my mixte fits just fine, Knotr's 5'8" and here she is on the same bike with the seatpost out a bit of course. Originally Posted by sandra
