Yeah - being a mixte isn't a detraction, it is a definite plus around here.

I'm gong to go look at it, but it might be too expensive a build to make it worth doing for a resale unless I can talk him down a bit. Now, if it had a headset and BB, maybe.....

I have most of the parts laying about save the Italian BB and a decent set of wheels, but I'd be looking at $200-ish for a complete bike.

Also, the rear brake cable routing bothers me - thanks for pointing that out, Dirtdrop. I'll hae to look in my parts bin to see if I have any slavaged mixte "upside down" brake calipers.
