I will indeed keep an eye out for a nice example of those, as well as one of those Araya swoopy mixtes, but look what popped up on Chicago FB yesterday. Member sedgemop had posted in the 'are you looking' thread about a completely different bike, and when I went to look at that, this was right below it.
Wife made a drive out to the far burbs to pick it up herself, as I had to be home with the electrician. (She checked for dents and made sure seatpost was free.) Seat tube is about 19" CTT, big for a step-through MTB I think, which is good for my long-legged wife. Bike appears to be all original down to the tires. There's some room for improvement--it will get North Road bars for sure--but a very solid platform. And it's shiny red!
And..oh yeah...it was $20!
