Something at the level of a Motobecane Grand Jubilee would be great, but I realize 650b mixtes less common. My mom's not super picky but if I could find something with lighter-weight tubing I'm sure she'd be appreciative.
Have you considered a 26" mixte? I know of the Schwinn Mirada and Nishiki had a 26" mixte as well........and likely a few others. The Mirada may have evolved from year to year and there are models with 4130 tubing and reasonably good components.
