For Sale: Puch Mixte full bike (Mavic Open Pro/80s Campagnolo Chorus front wheel subject to separate negotiation)

For sale is my partner's Puch 'Princess' (eugh) mixte bike.

I have no idea what the correct way to measure a mixte is but it is about right (maybe a tad large) for her at 5' 4".

The bike is all original except I've subbed out the 27" wheels for a couple of 700s that I bought off the forum (non-matching, more on these below). I think I still have the Puch skewers around somewhere but I have binned the wheels (they were heavy as hell and one had a wicked wonk on it).

The overall condition is reasonable, the paint has seen better days but it isn't in need of an imminent respray, and there are no obvious rust issues (it has lived inside for years and doesn't go out in the rain).

Money wise my partner would be happy to take £100 (ONO) for the frame and everything other than the wheels. I have no particular attachment to the rear wheel (a 90s Mavic MA2 on a no-name hub) so that comes included.

The front wheel is a Mavic Open Pro CD built up on a nice looking and running Campag hub (I think a 1980s Chorus). I'm not rushing to sell it (it being a handy emergency spare for my vintage ride). If it's a deal breaker then I'd take £50 for it.

Anyway I've attached a picture and am happy to provide any specific measurements if anyone can tell me specifically what they want measured. Anyone wanting to take a closer look can see the bike near Holborn on weekdays.

Obviously priced this wrong then. Price drop to £70 for everything other than the front wheel.

Last go price drop to £50 excluding the front wheel.

Interested in this. Could you measure the seat tube?

Hi Marcel, no problem, centre to top is 20".

Thanks, but sorry not for me. GLWS

No problem. Thanks for letting me know.

PM'd

I would be interested in having look at this if possible. Could come to holborn tomorrow!

Thanks for the interest. You're currently third in line but will let you know if the others don't take it.

Available again.

Price drop £45

Dibs for a friend - PM incoming

Selle Italia Anatomica saddle for the extra vintage-geek points. Nice to find them still in good condition - and a good indication that the bike hasn't had too many bad spills.

It may yet end up having to be split so if anyone wants to dibs the saddle!

Bargain this! I'm in the market for a mixte for the missus. If you can be arsed, I don't blame you if not, to split and post, I'm dead keen on the frame.
