I've been looking for a high quality mixte for YEARS. Was hers a two tubes or one (if you remember). (And yes, I know this is an old thread I'm replying too).
There is one for sale drivable distance from me that is a two tube Waterford mixte 21 speed in canary yellow - seems to be a size small. Do you know type of riding she did? Anything with hills?
I once bought a mixte from REI (probably an electra?) and I promptly returned it. I couldn't make it out of my neighborhood hills! My cargo electric bike is a mixte frame and.I LOVE it. I never have to worry about what I'm wearing, difficulty of mounting and dismounting with a load, etc.
I once asked Soma about the Buena Vista (when I was asking about riding Ragbrai) and they said that bike might be difficult for that type of riding, so I've been scared to invest money in it new.
