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.

Alas, it is not to be. DH had called the seller on Tuesday about the bike and arranged to go see it yesterday (my birthday), but when he called yesterday to confirm, the woman had already sold it.

Oh well. I was a bit ambivalent about it anyway.

For those of you on facebook, I just noticed that Terry posted a prototype of a step-through (not mixte) commuter bike, on their facebook page http://www.facebook.com/pages/Terry-...ng/78075887243 Looks like they are asking for feedback.
