Large, no make that extra large, mixte desired.
Complete or nearly complete is preferred, frameset with bits considered.
Original paint, 3/5/10spd, with no upgrades valued.
Cheap appreciated.
May just have to buy one the largest from somafab.com

Driving soon from Seattle to Nashville, local pickup preferred. -
Northern route = Coeur 'd Alene, Montana, S Dakota, thru Omaha/Lincoln NE, KC, StL, Louisville, Nashville.
Returning thru Denver around Labor Day.
Sorry no CA on this trip.

22 days on CL for the Centurion. Ridden little, so no sentimentality. Hmmm.

Riv mixte (tubing ?) at more than 2X Soma (Tange Prestige) is a buzz kill, lugs aren't that precious to me for a city bike, tho cool.

My concern is 'all original, pristine, mint etc' -- then read at bottom = fully restored. Not the same to me. Only original paint once. Price is likely 95% firm.
(edit: that sounds a little snarky - plus, I misread = the bike Does have original paint. Fair price in a CA market.)


The AD is exceptional as well -
I have a tall Nitto stem Technomic(sp?), given the short head tube - Will it fit the headset? yes, I think. And if a taller seat post is required - ???

Hey thanks all!
Don't tempt or entice me further, the mixte cup runneth over.
BF delivers.
In minutes.
WOW.

Lots of offers.
PM'd.
Text from a local Puget Sounder and BF member.
Another text from a local friend, who is not a BF member but saw it within minutes of the post***. Funny.
