Try selling a Mixte (an old one not a new one) and for some reasons you get some weird responses.
I listed my Motobecane Grad Touring. First caller asked if it was "girl's bike". I tried to explain what a mixte was and he interrupted and said "why don't you just say it's a F%(# girls bike?" and hung up. Second caller wanted it for his wife and then he asked what kind of man would have a woman's bike, so I hung up. Third caller asked if he could buy the parts because he could see it was either wrecked or built wrong.
I give up. I'm pulling the ad and my wife can have it. If it had fit me I would have said screw everyone and rode it everywhere. I think it's a great bike and the mixte concept is a great idea. I just wonder how they would hold up as a touring bike because mounting the step through frame would be no issue, even with a heavy load.
