Show us your mixte!

So I called the lbs and they shut me down and fast. I'm bummed.

Maybe you can email the auction lister and see if they're willing to deliver the bike to a local bike shop?

Maybe the shop would be willing to package it & mail it to you if they didn't have to pick it up?

Jones, you are in California. Tons of mixtes where you are. Do a search on your local craigslist or on ebay. A lot of people don't call them mixtes, they just call them ladies or women's bikes. That's how I find them.

I've been looking, it's just this bike is such a pretty color...oh well the hunt goes on.

Check out this mixte. It's got such a cool curve to the frame. I don't want it or need it (so I tell myself), but it's very cool looking.

That shape looks like Sandra's Legnano. I can't find the pic she posted, but here is the pic of it before bigbossman on bikeforums built it up for her.

I've owned this mixte for 25 years. It was almost a part of me, but tomorrow a buyer's coming to look at it.

Look at all the things vintage Raleigh lovers lust -- carved lugs, Reynolds 531 tubing, the R on the seat-stay, the unique R seat-post clamp, leather covered toe-clips, Campy headset, Campy Athena crank with 52-40-30 chain-rings, Campy Record down-tube shifters (prettiest ever).

I've put over 15,000 miles on this bike, and it has miles to go.

Might be selling it if anyone is interested.

Why are you selling her?

[Zen]

I like that too. I just wish sellers knew how to describe things
