I'll put in a good word for the Velo Orange Mixte,which was only available for a short time a few years ago, but I read on their blog that they are considering another production run. It takes 700 C wheels, has lugs, 1" threaded headset, 3 front fork braze-ons and good tire clearance. I don't know the largest tire it will fit with fenders. I have 32's plus fenders with a fair amount of extra room. I thought it was the best choice when compared to the Betty Foy and Buena Vista . Price was comparable to Buena Vista. In keeping with the subject matter of this list, I bought mostly Rivendell parts for it.

I'd love to have one. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To post to this group, send email to rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com.
