Yes, they are trigger shifters (like a mtn bike). It is a 3x7 setup. An all-in-one brake and index shifting setup from Shimano. Not expensive and seems to work well. I have used the same setup on an older KHS Team Montana mountain bike for over 2 years with no problems.
The bar on this bike is a Soma Swallowtail bar. You'll have to know the interior diameter of the bar to confirm whatever you select will fit a bar end. Most likely no problem, but diameters do differ and you wouldn't want an ugly surprise.

Kettler, one of the main suppliers of bicycles in Germany, used to make an aluminum mixte. This was in the late 70s. Rather nice frames, made with normal-looking tubing, not the oversized tubing associated with later aluminum frames. Set up a permanent search "Kettler alu-rad" or "alurad" on ebay (there's nothing today).
I ran into this last year, and got it for my girl. It's a rebranded AlAn. As bought:

I hope your wife appreciates your search for an extra nice frame for her mixte build. My wife wanted a mixte and I was not able to find anything double butted, etc. I did find a nice Puch in burgundy with gold lettering and pinstripe. She wanted it with index shifting, swallowtail bars and complementary colored grips and saddle. Did it. She wanted it blinged. Did it (polished components, KMC gold chain, brass crane bell, gold cables).
Has sat since completed. Sadly not ridden

A few years ago there were some carbon mixte frames.
Kona Coco is an alu mixte as is Charge Grater. If you want steel, see Wollstonecraft Mixte
There are also some bamboo custom models.

That sucks, you really don't see touring mixtes often. Sorry you missed it.

Back on subject, years ago I went to look at a ladies' Paramount in Kool Lemon in great shape for $200 but did not buy it. Made a reasonable decision that I only reflect on and regret occasionally. This time, I blame this thread.
