I still want one, but haven't found *the* one yet. Maybe the new Riv. I need a job first

Yeah, Mimi got all embarrassed-like because she accumulated over 20,000 posts on TE, so she changed her user ID figuring no one would remember just how many posts she's made. Some of us won't let her off that easy though.

I've carried on looking (not that i can justify getting one yet) and found that they turn up relatively regularly on e-bay sometimes very cheap. I currently have a bit of a crush on this one although it's probably too big for me.

I want to like a mixte but I just can't.
i like leaning my knee on the TT but I have trouble with hip/pelvis ROM and it's not easy to swing over a standard TT
That's why the FX series appeals to me so much...it's kind of in between.

My new project!!!!
I just bought it today for $65... I'm super excited! (keep in mind I live in the bay area where bikes are always ridiculously overpriced). All it technically needs are tubes, tires, pedals, and probably new cables/housings. This will be my very first complete restoration project. Gonna take it all apart including cranks/hubs and de-rust everything, and repaint it properly custom style (gonna have a auto shop sand blast it for me and buy replica decals). Hubs and cranks are the only mystery parts left for me, so I'm looking forward to it.
It's got nice rims and breaks, cool shifters, and the handlebars he gave me (new) are pretty nice too. It weighs 26 pounds and it's got the original plastic brake levers (which the guy I bought it from was super excited about cuz they're always broken at the tips). yey!
here is slideshow
