I do wish mixtes didn't get called 'ladies' bikes. They're just continental style unisex town bikes. Equally, as I understand it, the single drop-tube ladie's frames are not mixte frames, but are often labelled as such.
I may be wrong of course. But I was under the impression that the split tube defined a mixte.
Not pointing this at you, @DCLane , just trying to clarify things. Or maybe muddy them!
Please elucidate, O Wise Ones!

Mixte is 'mixed' in French, so as in mixed gender or unisex was my understanding of it... I think many sellers just assume they are female specific because of the lack of horizontal top tube.

Agree with the above - but Dawes didn't help with the "Lady Galaxy"!

Back in the 70's there were gents, ladies and twinlats, twinlats were ladies sports bikes with twin lateral tubes from front to back. Cliff Pratt made loads under their own name and Raleigh did the Caprice etc. Not sure when mixte name cropped up.

Sounds like an upmarket mucky mag.
