Show us your mixte!

LeicaLad, that's stunning!

Dibs!

I ride a 59cm or 60cm frame, and this is 49cm, but I'm gonna raise that seatpost to the max and give it a try myself. :D

I'll weep that day this baby leaves our house!!! :(

(And it ain't right away, either.)

It's red, you already have 2 mixtes, so I get first dibs :)



although I think Leicalad should just force his wife to ride it - or get her a comfort bike which she'll outgrow in a few months and be ready for the mixte.

I'm working on enticing. Well, maybe better called begging, pleading, pouting...

You know: The usual gambits of the married man.

I'd better go put on my oven mitts now. Apparently I was playing the role of the man.

I did some design work (frame geometry etc. the style is all theirs) for these guys and I must say having ridden the whole range the Mixte is my favorite!
These guys are super nice and have sweet little biz going.

The price point is certainly right but imho that bike has no personality whatsoever

Looks like a standard mixte to me, I don't care for that blue color - but looks nice in black.

Everyone has the hammered honjo type fenders now, making them overdone... I like red :)

Actually, hammered copper fenders would look awesome - especially if they develop a patina over time, someone make those.

i've seen brass fenders, but a copper with a patina on it, that would be lovely.

as for the linus, i've seen quite a few around town, and i don't think the picture does it justice. it's a very nice looking bike. i'm rather like that shade of blue myself, but guess that's why it's a good thing they come in black and cream too, eh?

Can you put fatter tires on it? Maybe do a 650b conversion on it? That maybe getting into a lot of work trying to make your wife like a bike that the rest of us love :)

The skinny tire thing is something that I think people get over after riding a comfort style bike for a while and getting more comfortable with being on a bike again.

There was a Peugeot listed on my CL maybe 6 weeks ago with a similar frame... same color :)

Very true. Even my "comfort bike" has skinny tires.
