    Very nice bike, rides smooth. Only thing missing is the original seat. Has the original tires in good shape! Everything works mint condition with the exception of a few chips in the paint. Measures 18.5 inches from the bottom bracket to the seat post. Asking $100 plus shipping.

    Can you post what the measurement is from the seat post to the stem? I'm curious if this bike would fit me or not.

    Ooh, that's really close. I think it might still be too big, but let me do some comparison measurements.

    remember, you sit more upright on these bikes so that reach is a lot less of an issue than it is on a road bike.

    Well I measured from the center of the seatpost to the center of the stem. I thought that's how they measure that? Sorry if I am an idiot.

    mixte - that's exactly what I wanted to know, thanks!

    I'm going to make some measurements of my current bikes and compare. I had a mixte before, but it was too big and I never rode it. I want to make sure this time before I commit! I'll let you know this evening...

    Thanks, Mimi - I'll keep that in mind. My last one was upright as well, but it was still too much of a reach. (I've got short arms!)

    It should fit just fine! 21 inches matches my road bike, so with a zero set-back seat post, it should work great.

    Send you a PM now.
