Jim if you don't own a Mondia take the plunge, they are quite nice and the paint is also wonderful. I still kick myself for passing on a matched set, mens and womens, Mondias. I've never seen such a nice mixte frame in my life and I doubt I ever will on better, it was much nicer than the Herse that was on ebay a while back. enjoy, Brandon"monkeyman"Ives
