Refurbishing Very Old Bike

[Miranda]

I don't think that's a mixte, is it? Because the top tube doesn't go all the way to the rear hub? I can't be sure.

No mixte, step-thru. Or according to Trek's designers, "staggered".

This is then true by design, she's not a true mixte (I won't tell her though). A step through, or meant for ladies. I guess I could more readily whip my leg about her to ride wearing a skirt, vs the my current road bike. Regardless, I think a cycleskort is about as close to wearing a skirt on any bike that I would come. I don't even own one atm, but maybe getting one to ride blue belle would be in order.
