I have a question that has been bothering me, and I apologize if I am sounding a little ignorant,..but...how is "Mixte" pronounced? Is it just "mix" or
"Mix-tay" or "Mix-tee" or..?
I didn't even know there was such bike until this forum and now I'm seeing them all over the place!!
Thanks!

In the proper French, the "e" isn't pronounced. (it's kinda like "meeekst")
In the improper English, I usually hear it as "miksteee."
I say "mikstee." (but then I also say "pan-yer" for pannier)"If Americans want to live the American Dream, they should go to Denmark." - Richard Wilkinson

Some Assembly Required
and I'm in a spot of bother. i can't get the stem (with handlebars and cables all attached) high enough over the headset to drop it in. It won't angle in either, at least not the way I'm doing it.

Forgive me, I've only read the last page of this thread, so I might be missing something...
But I'm assuming it's a quill stem...
Can you just unbolt the handlebar from the stem (I can't remember what the handlebar/stem attachment looks like on quills), get the stem all settled in and cozy (with the handlebars hanging down on the cables and maybe resting on the front wheel), then reattach the handlebars???
yeah I just googled quill stems. it looks like the usual steel ones have a bolt underneath the bar you can loosen to remove the bar.
