I saw a beautiful Mixte being walked through a crosswalk the other day. I wanted to photo it since it was so lovely but I might have looked a bit creepy doing that. It was a beautiful metallic green (bright like green grass) with matching fenders and a lovely little wire basket. The lady didn't seem completely comfortable riding through the intersection so she was pushing it.

Anyone want to buy this one? I guess it would have to be someone local since it would cost an arm and a leg to ship it. Just thought I'd post it here before I let her go for good.

Discipline is remembering what you want.
I've been visiting this thread since it started and love all of these beautiful mixtes. Thank you for sharing, and for giving me another obsession. I'll keep looking on Craigslist and local tag sales to join the ranks of the mixte owners. Hopefully one day I'll have a photo to post.
Back to drooling over all of your gorgeous mixtes!
Got this cutie today for my 19-year-old daughter!

Finally got my first mixte this saturday! I bought it on craigslist. I was looking for a new commuter that would be more upright and comfortable. Of course that meant I had to sell my cannondale stat! My brother would have freaked at me if I brought another bike home without the intention of getting rid of one, (as I already have 2 others in addition). You understand - different bikes for different biking tasks! Mnt, road, - now mixte commuter. I sold the cannondale on craigslist in under 2 hours! The exchange between the Peugeot, (mixte) and the cannondale put $100 in my pocket! The mixte is ready to roll and I have already put a good 5 miles on it or so. I'll get a pic of it later on! So excited. The only bummer is that I always kinda wanted a metallic blue or a whitemix, but this red is nice too, until I can swap with someone later!
