That Colnago frame is lovely, even if it isn't a "real" mixte.
I'm so glad I've just recently resolved to pare down my belongings, or else I might feel like I'd have to try to get that. As it is, I think my Takara mixte is probably going to end up on the selling block soon.

Just in case someone is even considering...
This is from Chas, the technical guru at the Gitane web site:
"Colnago Sport frames and complete bikes were 2nd tier models offered by Colnago. They may not have even been made by Colnago.
The forks have Columbus labels but the seatpost size is listed as 26mm
which might indicate it's made of lower grade tubing."
So, look, but don't leap.
(As I posted this, I felt duty-bound to add this coda...)
Cheers!
