Show us your mixte!

You don't have to pretend it's too big for you - it is. Too big for me too otherwise I'd buy it with you

I resisted the urge to go measure my seat height - I know I can manage to ride a 50 cm bike. If i switch to a flat saddle like the specialized ruby and put the seatpost all the way down, I can maybe manage this one.

But I totally could ride this if I wore platform shoes.

And to do justice to the pink, I really should ride it with platform shoes & sequined pants.

And if you changed out the drop bars for some moustache or albatross bars, the tt wouldn't be too long either...

Alright, I just measured my bike. Center of cranks to the bottom of the setback on the seatpost is 53 cm. So I could totally ride that mixte even without my sequinned pants & platform shoes. Generally I don't ride more than a 49 cm because of standover height - but given it's a mixte, that's not a problem. I usually like a fairly long top tube for my height, so it should be fine.

Now there's just that little problem that I have no idea what I'd do with a mixte and I have those troublesome other 4 bikes.
