The Mixte frame is back!

[Baggy]

Fab! There's loads of em for sale, so why don't I see many new ones?

Price? An old one is going to be more appealing to someone who isn't sure how much they'll use it.

Now, if someone can please just sort out the Kona frame with Raleigh style forks and bars in the Charge paint colour, I'll think about making my plastic hurt

 

[Smokin Joe]

They need disc brakes

And a top tube.

very nice and good for people who struggle to get there leg over top tubes !

Bought as fashion/get fit accessories rather than to be ridden...................just like my bikes as some folks on here, that I mysteriously owe copious amounts of beer to, would claim

I've been eyeing up that Charge one for ages and, IIRC, it's paint job is quite glittery up close. I very almost bid on a single speed mixte which was going for £100 on ebay but I was in Ibiza at the time, a bit worse for wear on the all-inclusive booze and the sensible part of my brain talked me out of it

I like the old 5 speed mixte racers with the suicide brake levers.

Back to the original bike but off topic. Why do they airbrush out the valves? Are they rude or something?

Not airbrushed, maybe they just hide them behind the tubes ....

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Stood up, proud, erect when hard (the tyre) like willies, of course they edit them out. Unfortunately they can't do anything about the bottom bracket though.

I like mixte frames, here's one i've been 'doing up'. Just need some bar tape.

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Hmmm, I'm torn between one of these and a Dursley Pederson.

[Fab Foodie]
