I was not particularly trying to make a point, just making light 
conversation/speculation. Sorry that apparently did not come across. Yes, I 
too know what the Rosco project is about. And I'm not offended by the term 
mixte being used. That would be silly. Nor did I think or imply that you or 
the folks at Rivendell don't know what constitutes a mixte. That would be 
silly, too. Rivendell/Grant has certainly referred to the Roscos with the 
dropped top tube as mixtes a number of times. Here's one instance:
