"Mixte" up cross frames
For you Mixte lovers, a Dutch web page (in english) that runs thru the evolution of what we would call Mixte, but they call "Cross" frames.

Thank you evwxxx, that is most interesting. I did not know that the style was that old, although it does seem that 'everything is new under the sun again'.

That is one of my favourite sites.
I have/had a few old (1937 through 1950s) brochures for
dutch bikes that I sent Herbert (runs the site).
the Dutch language page has a lot more information
that hasn't made it to the english pages.
