Show us your mixte!

that saddle has to go! how long can you sit on it?
nice find though.

I don't know - I have too much going on and on the to do list. I stuck it in my shed and haven't let myself go visit it so that I don't go strip it and paint it red or orange or something and buy it all new pieces.

There are several mixtes on ebay right now.

Who knew Mongoose made a mixte!

Thinking of getting this one: http://baltimore.craigslist.org/bik/2165140745.html

Did a bit of research--this is a 1987 model, cheapest one on the lot, so to speak. Hi-ten steel frame, inexpensive components, heavy (catalog puts it at 29 pounds). $50 might be a bit overpriced.

But it's a Miyata (same as my touring bike, which is going strong at nearly 21 years old), and a mixte, and I'm a weak-willed person.

For the DC or Baltimore area, $50 is cheap.

No kidding. I always wonder who these people are who pick up amazing used bikes from Craigslist for a song. You don't see anything in this area for under $50 unless it has Barbie decals on it.

You have to be fast. I've gotten a couple good deals on craigslist.

I was thinking I should put my mixte back up, because I haven't ridden or done anything to her - but I just looked at the pictures - she's pretty.
