I agree the bike looks awkward - replace the stem with a dirt drop and it
would look better. I suspect the owner was real tall.
Grant has said he would build this frame for $3000 since he still has
lugs. Add in the components and replacement cost is $5500+. To those who
expressed concerned
Yeah, I can easily see why that bike is 2K. It has paul centerpull brakes
and wheels with phil wood cassette hubs. That stuff aint cheap.
My bet is that the bike sells for more than the 2k BIN price.

Should be interesting what it sells for. However, it is almost a 20 year
old bike with a mix of nice (Paul, Phil) and ok (Shimano) components , and
being a mixtie, and a large size to boot, probably limits its appeal to
fans of Rivendell only. Who know, the market may go crazy and bid it up.
Yes, a very old antique bike, bound to have lots of issues. Probably
rusted out internally. Jagged exposed metal can give you tetanus,
which is awful. I'm sure it will need a re-paint as well, never mind
the original lead-based paint that will cause developmental delays in
children.. Very unsafe
LOL! I'll be happy to come over and remove it from your premises for only
$50, you know, to keep you safe, and all that

This is not the Mixte you're looking for.

I keep reminding myself that there is nothing I could do on this bike that
I can't do on my 62 cm Betty. Well, I could take that ugly rear rack off,
put the widest dirt-friendly tires on that would fit, find the right
bars/stem and have the most overly elegant mountain mixte in existence.
It's now at $2K with about three days left to go. I'm out of the bidding :-(
That was the original BIN price, whoever put the first bid on is
probably kicking themselves now!

Welcome, Charlie. Sounds like you just joined the list? If so, your initial

I have my eye on it... for sale just down the road from me. I've
wanted a Riv mixte for quite a while, hoping it doesn't go too high.

I swear I think it was 2k, I was putting out feelers at home but I have an
offer in on a house and was told a firm no... Ah well, Someone is gonna get
a sweet ride.

I was hoping no one posted it on here to reduce exposure:). I am interested and
will be following price. Pretty rare to see this mixte for sale in 60cm.

As nice as the bike is, I have to admit that a bike that size with 650b wheels
looks odd to my eye. Just a personal thing.

Ditto here... although I don't know if I could pull it off, was hoping
to not raise to much awareness... :-) My size, local to me... man it's
tempting.
FYI, original BIN was indeed $2K
