Modern Mixtes

Does anyone know of production mixte frames besides the Soma Buena Vista?

It isn't cheap, but Rivendell recently unveiled the Betty Foy.

Apparently Velo-Orange will make one as well.


You may want to keep an eye on the Internet-BOB list, as someone just started a discussion about production mixtes.


(This is how I found out about the V-O model.)

My favorite thing at interbike was "little taiwan." They were selling CARBON mixtes. It was awesome. I need to scan the catalog that I got.

I was too busy to spend much time looking around at the Taiwanese booths. Too bad, some of that stuff is more interesting than the "real" show stuff.


I did get a Bruce Gordon pocket protector though.

dmtroyer, im not sure about in pittsburgh but when i was riding the GAP there was a bike shop in west newton below the trailside diner that looked like a raleigh dealership. Either that or they just had lots of them and lots of signs.

Biketek in Squirrel Hill is a Raleigh dealer, IIRC.

reviving this thread because we're back in the market...


my bro-in-law alerted me to the Handsome Cycles She Devil

Mixtes - "not just for girls anymore"

REI (South Side) also has Raleighs.

@dmtroyer - I have the "Ladies" version of the KHS UrbanXPress & like it a lot. Got it from Iron City. Takes fenders & a rack easily. I think it only comes in one size & a couple of colors. You can see mine here and there in the tag-o-rama thread :-) You're welcome to give it a spin.

the She Devil is looking very tempting. Especially if it is powdercoated a new color.
