I don't want to embarrass myself at the LBS, so:

How in the heck does one pronounce MIXTE?

I think I may have a line on a new job which will require a new commuter bike for me. OK, it won't be required, but a much lighter bike than the one I currently use around town would be most appreciated. There is a hill between me and The Job which I'm pretty sure has a grade that has the word ~teen in it. I'm also thinking that with my weight and really sketchy knee, an electric assist would be a reasonable idea.

But first I need to find a bike, and ask for it like I know what I'm talking about.

So, I ask again, how does one pronounce MIXTE?
