Thanks for the reply!

What I want is a bike that I can mount and dismount easier. It doesn't appear that a true mixte accomplishes that which is why I choose the Vanilla photo that I did.

I still struggle with the Trek 7.6 FX ..... getting my leg to swing off the bike when I'm tired or stiff...especially when my panniers are fully which seems to be always. I predict that in another few years when I'm 65+ I'll want a frame that makes it easier.

Any suggestions for the kind of frame I need where the bike is lightweight and high quality?
