Tx!
I'll get the other pics in a few days, standby. I have seen quite a few of these but none recently.
While we're at it, you'll notice I put the "mixte" in quotation as these are not true mixte's not having two separate tubes running from the headtube to the rear dropouts.
This version with the single large TT running to the ST is technically called the Sport version even though the companies called them mixte's.
Another point to bring up here is that mixte's are not women's bikes, it literally translates to universal, unisex, everyone.
It was a utilitarian design, some companies only made them in one version for all.
PS, the very cool Dura in the other thread is also a Sport as well.
