I expect to build another three first bicycles for grand daughters in the coming half dozen or so years. The first a Fuji Absolute Mixte was a great success and so I am looking for Mixte frames with a lugged double butted higher quality tube set. In my looking so far it seems there are the, $1,000.00++ and rare, Mixte frames in very top end tubing (under 24lb), and a mass of 1020/Hi-tensile tube sets (30 lb +) and then fewer Mixtes of double or better butted lugged frames in the 24-26 lb range.

So to help me in my search if you know of a make/model that falls in this middle of a Mixte with double butted or better lugged frame please share as it will help me focus my search efforts and expand them to include brands I might not think of or over look.

My Thanks.
