Modern Mixte frames

Hi

I'm looking at building up something a bit odd so thought I'd pop my head in here.

I was commuting on a Btwin road bike which was quick but not great at weekends and shopping so I bought a paddywagon 3speed hybrid which is far slower than I thought.

What I'm wanting to build is a modern Mixte with drop bars and preferably hub gears. Fairly lightweight build but nothing too flash 10.5kg plus or minus a bit is fine.

Does such a frame exist in 54/56 I can only find a Soma brand frame but that's way over budget.

Thanks I'll pop in tomorrow.

Thanks, had not seen that. The charge bikes look modern enough.

I've got a Raleigh Royal Mixte for sale on here (not modern but could be built up all modern like) if you're interested https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/322736/#comment14305016

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
