Hi Chaps, I'm looking for a mixte frame for the missus. 55-56cm with braze ons got racks. Basically need something that can take a child seat and a basket and be step through-ish without being a sit up and beg town bike.

Merci!

I've got a French Cycles Royal frameset, which has been powdercoated. It's a bot old though and I have the original rack and mudguards. Photos show it half built up with the original bars and a new wheelset.

Looks to be in pretty good nick. My only concern with the age is availability of spares.
My parts bin isn't that deep. Will it be easy enough sourcing spares? Interested to know asking price regardless, can PM if you prefer.

Cheers Errol.

Hi Gandalf, I have a 531 Jack Taylor Mixte, will have to check size tomorrow.
Rack built into frame, Brooks saddle, Shimano 600 group.

Cheers, Pete

Afternoon gandalf, apologies - I've just measured the frame and seat tube is 49 c2c and top tube measures at 54cm. It was a custom so an odd size.

No dramas, thanks for checking. Sounds nice though.

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:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
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.
