I really like mixte frames. Sculpturally, they feel right. Your eye follows twin top tubes down from the handlebars, past the seatpost, joining up at the rear wheel. The path of those two tubes summarizes all that’s important in a bicycle.
But, I can’t get myself to ride one. I know that they are unisex. But really. Come on. It feels like the bike equivalent to wearing one of those fashion-forward tight suits.
So, I was really happy to see this rugged looking mixte by Clockwork Bikes. It’s like a BMX with grace. Nice one!
