The top tube, the part you step over, isn't split.
From Sheldon once again:
A variant on the mixte uses a single, full sized top tube running from the upper head tube to the seat tube, but retains the middle set of stays.
You have 3 sets of seat stays, back by the wheel, and THAT makes it a mixte. Some people think any step-through is a mixte, but it needs the three stays.
Welcome to the club, and ENJOY! I want to see pics when you get it. And you already have a black brooks...must have been meant to be!
