Bikes: 1949 'Italian' , 1950 San Giusto, 1897 Union, and a number of "projects"... 198? Grandis, a couple of Mixte's...

Question for Mixte owners.....

Hi All,

My wife has expressed that she loves the Mixte look, and as such, I am now in search of a nice Mixte frameset. What I am curious to know is about quality and ride comfort.

It would seem that there are a number of quality levels to choose from, so I am looking to hear from Mixte riders as to what they think are the better makers/models to look for.

Of course we are looking for something vintage and has nice detailing ! I'm mostly concerned with the frame, as I have plenty of vintage components to work with, and it will likely receive Nuovo Record goodies and 700c wheels, along with custom paint job....my point being, that I'm not worried about how a model was equipped, just ride quality.

Thanks in advance for any input on the matter !!

Cheers,

Joe
