Subject: [CR]mixte Hetchins unearthed

Sunday, I visited a neighbor to help him with some "old" bicycles and pulled a very nice ladies Hetchins (although now in need of some major TLC) out of his dark, damp shed. I've posted some reasonably large pictures on my website at this link (they'll take a few seconds to load; 143K file). Be sure to scroll down when the photo opens to see all the pics: http://www.jimlangley.net/hetchins.jpg

My neighbor says that this Hetchins was one of a matching pair built for a husband and wife. He has no idea where the men's is (this one has the initials "MH" on it). In any case, he's interested in selling this one and I thought there'd be no better place to spread the word than here. Maybe one of you has its mate?!

If you're interested in this bike, please let me know by emailing me. If a lot of people make offers, I'll likely sell it to the highest bidder assuming the owner approves. If there's no serious interest here, I'll list it on eBay. I thought you'd enjoy the pictures in any case. It's a lovely piece of work and I believe less common than the men's models.
