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.
