Show us your mixte!

I've been debating driving down to buy the bianchi in this:

It needs a front wheel, and I have those spare 'cause I only wreck rear wheels, and it needs brakes, but I've got a set of xtr mountain bike brakes that look like maybe they'll work...

It's not one of the super cute mixtes with the split top tube all the way back....

Except... I have 5 bikes and I'd have to drive 26 miles each way to get this.

Make sure that fork's not bent. It looks like the wheel was taco'd or something. The seat/post looks whacked, too. Could just be put on weird. I'd make sure that you can get that seat post out.

I think it's a cute bike, though.

I'd drive down with you but if the bike was any good we'd then have to have a fist fight and that would be most unladylike.

I think i could take you on reach, though.

Oh, I'd let you have it... I'd just make you put in your will that I get it when you die

All I'd do with it is smash its rear wheel up, probably at the rate I'm going...

I'm thinking that the front wheel is so warped just 'cause it's been sitting so long leaning against a wall or something. Least my bf's got a mountain bike with a front wheel that looks like that and I don't think that bike has moved in 10 years and there's a few bikes in the bike rack at work that haven't moved in a year (I've watched) that have warped wheels as well.

If I had a pair of bolt cutters, I'd totally steal one and make myself a hipster singlespeed.

I've got the guy's name, address & phone # if you want it. Sounds like I'm heading down that way tomorrow evening anyways...

Nah, it's all yours.

So much for being a good forum friend that throws herself under a bus to make sure I don't unnecessarily buy a bike that I don't need by buying it herself.
