Dear All,

I'm enquiring for a friend who is looking for a nice campus bike for his daughter to take to Berkeley in a couple of weeks - she's been bitten by the vintage lugged mixte bug, but all that is for sale around here is what appears to be a UE18 in 103 tubing, which is, in fact, probably a little small:

I'd really like your advice whether that seems like a decent machine if anyone knows about those, but even more, if anyone has something mixtewise a little better - preferably in 531 or some such, I'd very much like to hear about it. She's a fairly long legged girl - inseam of 33" or so, so probably looking for a 54-56 in a frame - full bike even better I think.

Many thanks (and for all the splendid advice and information on this list), and happy new year.

regards, (and hopes he's got the format right for his first CR post)
