Nice set! Does mrs Wildwood ride the Michelle?
Mrs Wildwood hasn't touched a bike in 25 years, and barely any of her 3 during our first 10years together. So this time I acquired a frameset size that might fit us both with a switcheroo or two. Besides, when she scoffs, I can substitute light tubulars, slam a stem and have the city 'sleeper bike' to hang with and still impress the 50yo guys.
Apologies, I used a German translator and it wasn't googly.
edit: Should have used 'Dutch' = quickly, swiftly.
To qualify for your 2-some Snel moniker (as 'fast'), may i suggest a tandem? I have a very nice, custom, low mileage (no, make that Garage Queen), 1990s tandem to offer for your consideration.
Another advantage of trying the Michelle for me = at ~70yo if I like the mixte, I could justify the slow search for a 'lightweight' 531 mixte in size XL. I intend to be riding vintage steel at 80+.
