I rode a Motobecane Super Mirage Mixte for several years. It was a good bike and I have no complaints. It's nice for loads since mounting is easy. I did not notice a difference in handling vs. reg. high tube bikes.
There are some other nice things about mixtes... 1) not attractive to thieves 2) great for stop and start city rides where you foot plant a lot 3) especially good for trailers On Tuesday, April 26, 2016 at 3:25:15 PM UTC-5, Daniel D. wrote: > > Sometimes stepping over my top tube feels like a chore.
