Wow, I would love to find a 52cm mixte. Every single one I have found is between 48cm and 50cm. The older ones that is. I know that Raleigh had two and sometimes three sizes in the mixte frames, but I'm wondering if Nishiki and those others did. Not as many sizes as the men's bikes, that's for sure!
Anyway, as I posted somewhere else, if you put moustache bars on it, or albatross bars and a shorter stem that 52cm bike may work. Those bars bring the reach back quite a bit, so much that I had to go with something else. I didn't want drop bars, so I had to put on bullhorns and it's perfect now.
