Wanted: Lightweight, 56-58cm Mixte frame or complete

Posted on
  • I'm looking to acquire a good quality, well made mixte frame to build up for my tall lady-friend. Although complete builds at a good price would interest us too! Looking to get her on a nice bike, been very patient thus far but had no luck and been looking for a while.

    Needs to be 56-58cm thereortherabouts...

    ...& ideally of a lightweight steel, 531 equivalent or plus being the holy land of enjoyable riding that I'm trying to introduce her to. Apart from that not too fussy.

    PM me if you have anything, Cheersmehdears!

  • forgot cost me £150 for parts so sell same no profit to many bikes so must shift some

  • hmmm

  • knew i shouldn't have posted this on a saturday night.... still looking, anyone?

  • still looking!!!! ANYBODY PLEAAASE HER DISAPPOINTED GAZE PIERCES MY HEART!! >>> ?

  • she's relying on me. bikes are supposed to be my domain... and I'm failing. My manhood.... dissolving...

  • Keep a look out for Raleigh Royale or Royal lady which was 57cm and 531 f&f. These were a lot cheaper than the Raleigh Randonneur as the touring hierachy deemed Mixte inferior to single tubed frames.
    Certainly there's a few other larger ladies bikes like the Dawes Londoner which came in 531ST (Super tourist)
    Does it have to be Mixte because I reckon there's quite a few larger single tubed ladies frames kicking around.
    Gd luck hunting anyway

  • Mixte are stronger in supporting the bike in twisting head/seatube -wise, no? Strange that the tourer sorority feel they're inferior than single toptubed frames!
