Of course I looked at bikes, too.Barely made it off the site without bidding on one. Fortunately the ones I liked were not my size. Whew!
Sorry about the OT

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.

I think you will find that the Chimo is a beast! It looks as if it even has cottered cranks (not a good sign), and the Sun Tour Honor was low end (mind you, it works pretty well, but it's still a low end derailleur). Originally Posted by teigyr

Does seem to have nice mudguards though...

Dang- you Seattle ladies have some awesome bikes on Craigslist up there. I would buy so many- it's probably good I don't live there.
There was only one bike on our Craigslist, and I bought it. Was an old hot pink steel framed Huffy. Heavy as all get out, but for $5 I had to buy it and tinker with it.
Might not be worth fixing up. May be spending more getting it road ready than it's worth.
I got outbid on the pretty mixte bike I was bidding on eBay, so I bid on another. Not a mixte, but oh well. For $10 plus SH, I can make a fine cruiser out of it. A mixte will come along some day...Check out my running blog: www.turtlepacing.blogspot.com

This one looks good and I like the guy a lot. He is putting lights on it too
He seems to know what he's doing and says that if I ever have problems with it, he'll fix it. I talked to him for a long time today, he knows a lot about bikes. Anyway, I guess I am destined to live a life of Orange!

They have some awesome bikes in Seattle...period. My impression I think more people ride in CA because of our great weather thang .... but Seattle has more of a cycling culture of people really using bikes as transportation and part of their lives. Originally Posted by Tri Girl

).
There may be more cyclists here in sunny CA (more people too) but it's more of a weekend/recreational thing I think.Fancy Schmancy Custom Road bike ~ Mondonico Futura Legero

Arghhhhh! I just noticed the posts above mine. And, well, I had to click on the links. Major droolage going on. You women are E-V-I-L! That blue Raleigh sure is pretty though. Hmmm.... Luckily, it's kind of big. But only a little, I think!
