Show us your mixte!

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?

[mayanorange]

She's gorgeous Badgercat! I'm sooo jealous (don't tell Fern). Great find!

[amartha]

Buyer can't buy it! I think I'll be keeping her just to ride once or twice each year for the "bring out your dead" event at Halloween and an occasional mixte only ride.

At times I think this bike is too beautiful to sell.

[mayanorange]

Ann- you should definitely keep her- she's way too precious! Good for grocery and library runs I bet...

Creativa- Gorgeous! What year is that?

Jdubble- Sweetpea is the perfect term for that bike! She's cute as a button.
