Only a teeny bit small for me too. My newest obsession is searching for mixtes and watching them to see how much they go for.
You know it is a "sickness" when the front page of the newspaper says in HUGE letters "Hybrid Plans Expansion" and the only thing you can think of is BIKES!!!

There MUST be a 12 step program for this.

Although East Hill and the Raleigh may be swimming themselves, after our rain
.
Still planning on delivering, though, even if I look like a drowning rat when I show up!

I've been watching this one in my size. But I'm not going to bid.
I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

Why aren't you going to bid? I'm watching it too.
It came out right after I bought my mixte and I was thinking "oh no, this one is better, maybe I should sell mine"

Because I have no real use/need for it, and with the the ensuing divorce it would cost too much
There's just something about the lines of a Mixte! I want one!I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

I stay away from the French ones. Not that I know that much about it, but apparently those French bottom brackets are a pain if you have to deal with them. Like I said, I'm a novice so perhaps someone can shed some light on it.

So what is it about mixtes? Is it the lines, the old fashioned look? Nostalgia? Easy to ride? Originally Posted by MDHillSlug
