Just a quick update for everyone. I mounted an Ursus Jumbo Double Leg Kickstand on the Mixte and so far it works extremely well. I've also ordered the Hamax Caress Rear Child Bike Seat (for rack), which arrives tomorrow, and am looking forward to it. The only bummer is that he isn't as close

I would value it between $2500-$3000 also. Only problem being a lot of individuals who want to spend that kind of money want something new (even if not better). The biggest hit would be the beautiful build (full builds) just don’t hold values well. I would say the frame etc is worth $1500+.
