Charlotte said...: A mixte is a frame that's supposedly unisex, but usually ridden by women. It is characterized by the split top tube that goes all the way back to the rear drop-outs. This stabilizes the frame more than a traditional "woman's" frame, but is still more flexible than a traditional triangle "man's" frame.

In otherwords, it's the "slingback" frame that meligrosa so aptly commented!; July 10, 2008 at 10:40 AM
