Oooh. I'd love to find a big mixte, although I'm enough of a frame snob to want high-end tubing.

Actually, the "garage queen" I found on CL in Syracuse just arrived with the evening UPS man: a 1971 Gitane Super Corsa, all Campy equipped. I have a LOT of cleaning to do, but it was essentially used less than a year and put into the rafters for the next 38+ years. I'll have to build new wheels, as the original tubulars/sew-ups are still on it. But I know I'll love it when I'm done.

Still, I don't think I've EVER seen a 60cm mixte. I thought 58 was as big as they went. Now I'll be inspired to look!

As for the Leicas, I still use 'em. Two rangefinders that I love. When I'm overseas, I use them a lot. Film processing and printing is sooo much cheaper than it is back home in the US. Here, it's just digi-snaps. But they work.

Thanks, again.

Is your name from leica cameras? I have an old one that was my fathers that I just set reverently on a shelf.
