But you have 3 bikes already and sKnott will want another bike for the H.S. bike club soon I bet. Go for a 4 bike rack

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.

Seattle:

This one is a Mixie, not a mixte. Guess it's for when you want to mix it up.

this one's a little pricey:

I almost didn't click on it. Advertised as a flat bar road bike:

That explains why it's listed as a flat bar road bike. Sold the mens and didn't bother with the description.

Ok, of the Takara and the Raleigh (both are within easy drive for me to pick them up) which would be the better one for me to get to make a single speed? I know nothing about Takara. (but at least it has all the parts)

Edit: Takara dude still has the mixte. It's *really* my size, wonder if it'd fit Trek?

Knot, if you look at the Takara and it's nice (or decide it's a good bike, I've never heard of them either) I'd be willing to go in on both of them with you. It would be slightly cheaper and I need a "kicking around" bike. I could take the mens, I'm not *that* picky

I'm not all that savvy on finding a good used bike though so I trust your judgment.

The 25.4cm (Note--not 'inches' as per the ad) seatpost on the Raleigh indicates that it's high tensile steel, rather than cro moly. It also needs some work done on it.

My guess is that the Takara would be a better choice. I also like the orange colour

.

Edit: You might want to check the Takara for a steel composition label, but I still think it's a more likely buy than the Raleigh.
