Wanted: Ladies frame/bike for conversion

I would try posting on the CTC forum's buying and selling area, there's always loads of bargains going on there, and people do respond to Wanted ads too.

I love a nice mixte too. And I'm a bloke.

Thanks, I'll definitely have a look at that. I didn't even realise there were CTC forums! You lot are amazingly helpful!

Cool on the mixte frame love!

sorry...I bought this already, and yes, it is lovely! I'm going touring on it. happy days. loving the stepthrough, but that extra rear stay makes it darn heavy. compared to my other bike my pen feels heavy though.

good luck finding one...

Cheers :) Glad to hear it's being enjoyed!

My Mrs is 5'4" and she could sit on the seat with feet flat on the floor (26" rims with 1.75tyres, if you need it lower I'd build it with a 24" rear wheel and put a nice fat boot on it, 2.5 should fit easy, you may even get a 24X3.0 dyno fireball at a squeeze). the chain guard comes off with 2 bolts, the rear brake cable routes through the frame top tube and from memory due to the forward position of the bottom bracket there are minor toe overlap issues unless you pedal on tip toes

I actually quite like the look of this bike...there's a lot of potential with it!

How would it do w/a lttl on the taller end of 5'7"? If I shove 700c tyres on there maybe that could help w/height. You may find a definite bid on this if the price stays within my means (as I think I'm going to buy off the peg whilst looking for a project bike), it's awesome, thanks for sharing!
