That reminds me. A couple years ago I curb picked a Nishiki mixte that had been crashed. The down and "top" tubes showed evidence of stress from impact, with paint damage. But the tubes are still solid; near-gaspipe bikes are hard to kill. I stripped it for parts. The frame still sits in the garage. I could build it up from the parts bin. With upright bars, just a RD or even SS, unlovely wheels and nutted axles, a rack plus cheap fenders. I could find a chain guard in the coop parts bin. It would be ugly but functional. Mixte frame would accommodate skirts, chain guard would protect pants. I could stickerize it for even more ugly.
