"Mixte" describes the frame type with the twin lateral stays from head tube to rear axle, which this is. So yes, this is a mixte frame.

It is a rather sturdy one, though. Designed to carry loads while climbing mountains or crossing deserts. The Range Rover of mixtes. Nice, and extremely capable, but not particularly light or elegant.

Putting skinny racing tires on it would look funny to me.
