What do y'all think?

Looks nice to me. Not a bad price either. Needs some cleaning and TLC. I'll bet it steel though, not alumimum. Take a magnet if you go look at it. Steel is a much smoother ride. Hope to see a "look what I got" picture soon.

I'm picking up another old mixte on Monday. They kinda get under your skin. bikerHen

Good thought on the magnet. It's one of those things I know, but would not have thought to do.

doh! the ad says its been sold.
I highly doubt its aluminum. It's from an era when all bikes were made of steel. The seller may just be looking at the silver color paint?

[SouthernBelle]

well, drat. That just went up.

Bummer! Keep looking SouthernBelle. I've been haunting the local CL for months and the mixtes do pop up and I buy them. It's an addiction. I may beat out East Hill for the most Mixtes soon. bikerHen

the shop down the street from me has a teeny tiny mixte right now..... very tempting as my utility bike was stolen recently. I do not need another bike, I do not need another bike, I do not need another bike..... (especially not one that needs maintenance and hard to find parts....)

That was a Grand Touring. Those were nice steel bikes. Not really designed for long-distance loaded touring, but two steps up from Motobecane's cheapest 10-speed in the early 70s. Too bad you missed it.
