I had a Bianchi Milano for a while. Cool looking but really not that
fun to ride. It was fine for short errands but I wouldn't recommend it
for longer rides. It has a very dead feeling frame with big aluminum
tubes, and a sluggish ride. I agree with Mr. Thill's idea for a mixte
fixer-upper. Peugeots are fine but are made from lesser steel, and you
have to deal with French threading. You can find old Japanese mixtes
made from chrome moly (also some Raleighs and Carltons) that provide a
better foundation from which to build, IMHO.
