Show us your mixte!

Poor bike!

I know, right?

I saw this one today - a Dawes Cambridge that shimmered purple in the sun. I am quite smitten, and it's a good price, though I think I'd have to add Brooks saddle and grips. Going back on Monday to have a proper look.

That would sort the question of whether to keep or sell the Marin.

The Marin is getting a pre-Ebay service in just over a week, and I'm lining up some other stuff to sell.

Is there anything I need to be mindful of with the spec for this bike? It would be for light errands, popping round to friends etc. I'm a little wary that such a pretty bike might be light on functionality or might not last, but Dawes seems to be a fairly well regarded brand here. Every time I see one I want to bring it home. If anyone has time to have a quick look at the spec and post any comments I'd be most grateful, thank you.
