MY questions is this: WHY have you stopped looking at buying a mixte? Did you buy one? two? three? If not, there's no need to stop now!My question is this: where were all these bikes when I was looking at buying a mixte, huh??

The Motobecane with Vitus tubing is nice.
Oil is good, grease is better.

I was hoping the light would come on but it's not. What the heck is a mixte??

I wouldn't buy a Motobecane mixte on ebay. Look around, they are everywhere. Probably the one I see the most. I've bought two for $10 each in the past year at local flea markets. One is going to be a lawn ornament, and the other I stripped completely down for practice because I don't want to mess with the French parts, and my lbs didn't either. If you are going to pay for shipping, at least hold out for a Nishiki or a Raleigh!

Ok- that is a dumb subject.
I just wanted one of US to buy it. Ok- truth REALLY be told, I wanted to buy it, but there are divorce papers ready to be served if I come home with ANOTHER bike.

Notice she says "any of these bikes". -Which means she's probably bidding on a bunch of other bikes at the moment. Originally Posted by sandra
