Superia, how is your Achielle Sam bike? Would you call it a reasonably fast, reasonably light bike? I'm thinking of getting the Saar, but will likely not be able to try one before ordering.
I would ride the hell out of a mixte. I think they're neat, and you don't see them very often in my area. Not really into loop-frames or other step-through bikes like the Saar, though.
