  • Awesome and beautiful plus a very good price

    if I hadn't built my girlfriend a CB Ladydale I'd snap it up

  • This has gotta be a joke?

  • This isn't a mixte by the way. Glws

    It's got three sets of stays, so it is.

  • very pretty

  • This has gotta be a joke?

    ?

  • It does say though on the Wikipedia link you provided:
    'A variant on the mixte uses a single, full sized top tube running from the upper head tube to the seat tube, but retains the middle set of stays. [9]'
    Which means that this is a mixte.
    Anyhow, nice bike either way. GLWS

  • Dibs please, i will pm you

  • No its not, a mixte is a step through frame but with top tube replaced by a pair of smaller tubes running from the headtube to the rear dropouts. 3 stays makes no difference, thats just loads of stays!

    Sheldon Brown said otherwise.

    Anyway it's a nice little bike!

  • my mistake!

  • hi is still for sale?

  • Thanks for the interest everyone, it is now provisionally sold.
    I was guessing it was a mixte, thanks for the information guys.

  • This has gotta be a joke?

    No funnier than some other sale threads.

    Maybe you haven't heard but Jack Taylors are really rated by collectors. Known for their lovely fillet brazing. Will sell even with a pieplate behind the freewheel, it seems.
