Here's my Le Tour mixte, parked at the farmers market yesterday. I would not call it a pseudo mixte. As long as it has the extra seat stays, it would still qualify as "dual" in terms of tubing. There have been a number of threads in various bike forums regarding what constitutes a "proper" mixte. I would say there are single top tube and twin, or parallel top tube mixtes, but they all must have the dual seat stay configuration. In any case, I like to think of the first translation, which is generally mixed, as in co-ed, or unisex. I would classify the Betty/Yyves, Wilbury, Cheviot, as perfectly non-pseudo mixtes. The Clementine, of course, is definitively not a mixte. On Monday, November 9, 2015 at 9:58:14 AM UTC-5, JohnS wrote: > > Very nice build.
