speaking of mixtes

[sandra]

I read somewhere, maybe here that only about 1/5 of the weight of a bike is the frame. With newer lighter components it's a lighter bike. Make it a fixie or freewheel .... my ancient Motobecane Mixte Freewheel is surprisingly light.

It's not as if I'll be doing epic climbs on it anyway

Can't you see, I'm trying to talk myself out of liking it!
