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.

If someone wants to buy the Mariposa, I'll consider that one.

BTW, the Mariposa is officially for sale.
$400.00

Brian is considering buying it.

You so can't sell the mariposa. Sell an fx.
