That is one lovely bike. May she find a good home.

Another curiousity question...what does the shifter on the down tube do?

[Zen]

It engaged the original generator. That generator was not working when I got the bike so now it's just a decorative lever. Every bike needs one.

Gorgeous bike. I love the rear rack. Do the Mafac Racer brakes squeal as much as I remember them? That's a weight-saving feature - you don't need a horn.

No squealing!
I like that rack too. Velo Orange sells a similar one .

Oh how I wish I had a place to ride a bike like this! She is totally my size and I'm drooling on my keyboard just looking at her. *sigh*

Agreed....nice conversation piece. Although as it is, that bike is already quite the looker. If I were shorter, I'd be sorely tempted...

Of coure, knowing its previous owner (well, via her personona on the forums of TE), I might be worried that the bike would toss pithy zingers at me when I least expected them

I think this qualifies for a "coke alert!" As I sit here cleaning my monitor...

That's my stand-over height! If I hadn't just bought a kayak, I would seriously be considering this gorgeous bike.

You did mean seat tube, yes?

I know I should not ask... but would you consider selling the frame alone?

I've thought about this. As you can see from the long stem, this was originally a road bike.
If you want to talk, send a PM

Duh...yes........say a, think b, mean c....story of my life.

I can't believe you're selling her. What happened to your left knee? It looks swollen and bruised.
