Bikes: 1949 'Italian' , 1950 San Giusto, 1897 Union, and a number of "projects"... 198? Grandis, a couple of Mixte's...

So short of paying an ebay price, finding a 55cm mixte is going to take a while, and finding a higher end one? Tougher still.

Actually, I made a mistake on the size....went and measured her road bike, 52cm frame, so in a Mixte, I would guess that anything from 49-53cm would work. I always think she's taller than she is !
