I actually had a feeling that would come up in the convo...lol. Soon, I promise. Riding my Bridgestone today so I can't grab another pic at the moment.

Earlier discussion of perhaps the same year and model. Not as in nice of shape as OP bike, but some factory specs listed.

If you paid less than $200 you did fine, and even a bit more is still towards a good cause. There are always posts here of bikes bought at give away prices. I scored a couple. Realistically, if it is worth it to you, that is most important. Often times too, a niche bike comes up seldom, and if it suits you, that is the most important thing.

No one has mentioned that you have your bike, and it's all over.

[QUOTE=sd5782;22845883]The frame on a mixte is aesthetically pleasing to look at. Somehow just simple, understated , but classic. Similar classic bmw web pic;
Lovely lines. How about the 1934 BMW ‘R7’ prototype?
1934 BMW ‘R7’ prototype
The 1934 BMW ‘R7’ prototype is one of the most talked-about and best-loved motorcycles of the 1930s, yet it never left the factory, and was known only through a single, mysterious photo for over 70 years.

Sorry, not making a motorbike thread, but how about a custom bicycle with these looks? Electric? That would be fun to see!

That bike will make a very nice commute bike. Very nice indeed.
FWIW, I, too, don't mind "overpaying" a bit for something I truly want from a source I am happy to give my money to. In my view, that doesn't mean you overpaid, rather that both sides walked away happy with the deal. Well done.
