I have the ladies listed on CL here in Charlotte - I have a guy coming on Thursday for a look-see.

I also have a dusty crusty rusty Flamingo mens 24" Suburban with FFS that is in the clean-up queue. It has the stiff wire derailleur but the wire still moves freely thank god...

I wasn't sure at first it was 'mingo until I wiped a bit of dust off..

Edit: Schwinn499 posted the correct color as Burgundy Mist.
