Yeah, I could sell my 80s Allez. It is nowhere near as cute and it's too small for me.

Hurry up and buy it already so I'll quit being tempted by it!

See, that is one of the reasons I want it ... I prefer index shifting but I don't want to be the person who screws up a bike in that condition. If it's already done I feel no guilt.
(I have no similar qualms about taking apart a well-ridden twelve-speed and making it a single-speed, it's just that this one is so untouched.)

SOMEBODY, please buy that bike before it breaks my heart! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=280169876470
And if you buy it and it doesn't fit you, in all likelihood I will buy it from you!
EDIT: I'm serious. PM me if you want.Last edited by KnottedYet; 11-06-2007 at 04:33 AM.

Ooooo, that IS one beautiful bike!
I'd love to own it, but it's too big, I've got too many bikes already, and my DH has too little patience for ANOTHER bike in my (err... "our") house.
I hope somebody here buys it and loves the heck out of it!!!Check out my running blog: www.turtlepacing.blogspot.com

My husband is assuming that I will buy it, but I am only semi-employed! I haven't had a pay check since September! Baby needs ... uh, baby has everything she needs thanks to a grandma who bought her clothes up to size 3T.
If I buy it I will probably give my Puch to my husband to ride with a baby seat on it. (A mixte is a great bike for a baby seat because of the low stand-over height, and that Puch is manly enough for Daddy to ride.)
