I have to agree here with Steve, reluctantly. (Reluctant to be on the same side of the fence as Steve is, not reluctant to hold his implied position.) I don't see the point of a mixte unless you are very stiff (but I am; I can't get to within 6" of my toes) or wear a skirt (only on Sunday). Otherwise, you have a wobblier frame that is heavier and more expensive.
I've owned a few mixtes and I think they are neat for city bikes, but I've never been able to lift my leg high enough drag my foot over the diagonals without catching it on them and risking a fall -- I am serious here. I have to swing the leg up over the saddle or bar, as usual. (Over the bar is cooler but I risk a cramp when I do that.) Is it a fashion thing?
