Good thing I don't have an Ebay acct, or paypal, or have the foggiest idea how to work Ebay.

I got a dose of reality about my tiny apartment and my burgeoning bicycle population. I need to get one of those wall racks that stacks up 2 bikes before I get another bike.
But I'm keeping my eyes open for some local mixtes, and I'm gonna ask my LBS guys to keep their eyes out, too. (they sell a lot of used bikes www.recycledcycles.com )
Anybody got a favorite stacking rack that will also hold a mixte or slanted top-tube bike?"If Americans want to live the American Dream, they should go to Denmark." - Richard Wilkinson

I use one of those frame adapters. Works great. I got mine at Nashbar a couple of years ago, but I notice that lots of places have them now. I need to get more of them. Very handy.

Barely made it off the site without bidding on one. Fortunately the ones I liked were not my size. Whew!

Was at my LBS for other things, and told them about the mixte ss I wanna do. (but really shouldn't. I'm having such mixed feelings right now! I don't ride my own bikes enough as it is!)
LBS said Takara is a pretty good older brand, and would be comparible in quality to the Raliegh.
Some tall chickie (hmmm.... Teigyr?) needs to go get that orange mixte. So far I'm the only one who's called about it, so chances are good that if you call him now and tell him you're interested, you'll be in luck. He's in North Everett. Not far.
It has stem shifters ("crotch killers") but you could do some clamp-magic and move the shifters to the down tube or switch for bar-ends."If Americans want to live the American Dream, they should go to Denmark." - Richard Wilkinson

Yes, I am interested in this bike
Am awaiting a call back from DH to make sure we can get up to see it tomorrow.
This guy is also selling a Chimo. I'm not finding much on it online. It's steel and lugged but that is all I know.
Update: Am meeting him tomorrow. He sounds like a very cool guy and he really knows bikes.Last edited by teigyr; 10-20-2007 at 02:27 PM.
