I saw 4 mixtes in one place last weekend in Vermont. A Nishiki, a Miyata, and 2 others in pretty nice condition and for sale. If anyone is interested and is driving through VT, I can give you the location.
Oil is good, grease is better.

mixte sizing help...
basically I'm trying to help my mum put a new bike together, however she's 6 foot and set on having a mixte... I'm not too sure how mixtes size up, or whether they even exist in that size? would i be looking at about a 21" frame or something smaller? thanks for any help. x

re: mixte sizing
I would think she'd be more comfortable on a 23/23.5, at least on most 70s/80s mixtes. DH is 5'10" and I'm 5'7" and we both ride 21.5 Raleigh Supercourses. His is normal, mine's mixte. The seat tube lengths are similar- the difference in geometries is the reach on the mixte is less. The reach on these guys are both rather long relative to most new bikes, so depends if she's all leg- then I'd do a 21.5. Hope that helps. Originally Posted by mariondotdash
