Show us your mixte!

Thanks for the heads up...I have just been reading and seeing all of your nice bikes and had to see what the fuss is about.
I need another bike like a hole in the head... or is a hole in the head what my husband will do to me when I buy another bike...yeah time to stop looking for anything that will fill up more space in the garage/shop!

$40 is pretty cheap. I have picked up bikes like this and it's no biggie to put new tires on, brake pads are cheap...a chain isn't bad $10...new bar tape. You are right it's a "project bike". The chrome and paint look decent...I like the crank and pedals...

Hard to say without actually seeing the bike...

I enjoy cleaning up, waxing, polishing...

To answer the question above: no, mixte sizes are not comparable, partly because nobody knows how to measure them and partly because the dimensions are just radically different. I think we measured my pink mixte out as a 54, and it's big for a mixte, but it is teeny compared to the other 54s we have around. When it had the original drop bars it was way too small for me.

Deb is wise, and that frame is probably pretty heavy, too.
