I saw that one the other day. Very interesting, but I'd be scared of it because of the French threading.

It caught my eye because it's not the classic mixte design, but I don't really like its lines. I love the classic mixte lines!

One day at the LBS
Today I dropped by the LBS to have Chris take a look at the new/old Giant. Chris said to watch this space in the next couple'a months (yeah, this is way early). He's rebuilding a mixte for a customer. He says it's a Schwinn Paramount, repainted all original logos but in buttercup yellow, with red pinstripes.

I saw one for sale
On craig's list. I'm still looking for a road bike, but saw this green schwinn that was tempting after reading and seeing pics of your mixtes:

It's a little too far for me to get it or check it out, but looks like it's in good shape.

Cute bike, but this one isn't a mixte. Mixtes have 3 stays in the back. I had a Schwinn Suburban and while it wasn't a mixte, it certainly was fun. Biggest drawback to these Schwinns is that they are really really heavy! If you want a mixte keep looking. They are out there and most of the time they aren't called mixtes. I found a Nishiki for $40 and love it. Took awhile, but I finally found her. Good luck on your search! Originally Posted by mkidd
