Dirt Disciple
Lovely small ladies-specific steel sports bike with 700c rear wheel and 24" front wheel. Unusual American design uses a small front wheel to allow a short top tube and suitable frame geometry without toe overlap. Nice clean condition, all original yellow/white paintwork and decals with few scratches and marks, rides straight and true. Made in 1987 (according to Georgena!) so seems fine for Eroica.
Japanese built with Tange 1 double butted cro-mo steel frame and SunTour and Araya components, 12 spd with freewheel, d/t indexed levers, now fitted with shorter/higher stem and Randonneur bars, Sora twin pivot brakes and Durano 23mm tyres, still have original calipers, levers, stem and receipt! 18.75" top tube, 27" standover height
Sheldon Brown's site (http://www.sheldonbrown.com/harris/terry/) has more information on these interesting American bikes.
Little used since I had a tourer made to similar design. Reluctant sale since SPD/broken wrist! Many more detail pics available
£215 ono collection from Sheffield area

What a little smasher! And a very good price too.
