ooh la la - new semi-custom mixte from Sweetpea!

[uforgot]

Has anyone taken a look at the geometry of the little black dress? Is it just me or are those top tubes pretty long for the standovers? Especially if they are designed for women.

I think they are beautiful bikes!

I thought the same thing about the TT length. Going by that measurement, I would take the smallest frame size, even though I'm 5'5" tall.

Yep, they're all too big for me (I'm just a hair shy of 5'2"). Good thing, as they sure are PURTY. She needs to add an XS!

The mixte. I didn't look at the LBD.
Although I didn't look at the geometry of the mixte. I have a feeling I would need a custom build. I am barely 5' 1".

ha. I'm 5'1-5'2 and I want the medium little black dress size. But I definitely don't have long legs.

What you all may be overlooking is this would be a townie bike, not a distance bike.
Consider.
Custom is well worth it for distance, mountain,touring or cx but townie is townie.

Going by the top tube and seat tube angle - I'd love one of the mediums. They're running slightly longer top tubes and more laid back seat angles than most women's bikes.
