Mixtes are step-throughs but not all step-throughs are mixtes.Originally Posted by sgtiger
A mixte has tubes that run from the head tube back to the rear drop outs. Usually two tubes.
On step throughs, they take a really long top tube and bend it so you can, well, step through the frame rather than hoiking a leg over it.

It was already sold by the time I got on the computer. I can console myself that it was a 17 inch and I really need something more like a 19 inch.... but I still feel a pain in my soul...

How 'bout Log Boom at 2:00ish? SKnotDad will take him after church, which gets me to Log Boom 2:00 or 2:15.
I'll be on the Surly.
We'll aim for Recycled, and see where we go from there.

I'll do my best to meet you all down at Recycled, I may have the time to meet you at Logboom, we'll see.
I forgot I was thinking about doing a cross race tomorrow, but actually I think I won't be up for it anyway! Did some unintentional cross training yesterday (i.e. running, which I prefer not to do in the best of circumstances) in shoes that weren't really meant for it and I think I pulled a muscle....."Sharing the road means getting along, not getting ahead" - 1994 Washington State Driver's Guide

Hang in there Dex! I hope you get through your project and can get a ride in today!
It looks like it's going to be another nice day for a bike ride!!!!!
And you gals doing the bike shop to bike shop starting from Recycled! Enjoy the weather and the ride! Joe and I did a mountain bike ride yesterday and today we are going to bundle ourselves up and get a nice road ride in! I am sooooo looking forward to it! I'm wondering if I will need to bring out my "booties" for today's ride?
