Yes, it will probably work. I ride a 52 and my mixte is a 53. I hope you get it. It looks like it is in great shape.

I don't know if mixtes are more flexible, I'm 5'1" and my mixte fits just fine, Knotr's 5'8" and here she is on the same bike with the seatpost out a bit of course.

That's one fuuuuuun bike to ride!
Really got a kick out of just cruisin' the single-speed.
(I especially liked the part where I passed a Biker Dude going uphill.)

I want a mixte, I want to make it a single-speed like Trek's.
I could rationalize this by saying I was getting it so Trek and others could borrow it when they're in Seattle.
Or I could say I was gonna do this instead of getting a tattoo.
anyway, I'll let the fates decide.
If anyone runs across a good mixte frame in good condition, size 52cm or less (30-ish inches virtual standover or less) in the Seattle area, please give me a holler. Especially if it's less than $100.
I wanna try the conversion myself, so probably not a French frame with the odd bottom-bracket requirements... (we'll see how long this idea lasts!)

Just PLEASE- nobody out-bid me on the bike I'm bidding on. I'm sooooo trying to win it.
I don't want to show you the bike or you might have to have it (it's a beauty- er... I mean- it's ugly and you don't want it).

Note that the left bottom bracket up on this one needs a lock ring. Originally Posted by sandra
