Any drawbacks with a women-style "step-through" frame?

Just pulled the trigger on a new Mixte. I don’t really need another bike, but I usually ride with a bag on my rear rack, and I hate having to swing my leg over it.

What did you order? I would love to take a look; I'm on the lookout for a unicorn.

A Linus Mixte 7i (https://www.linusbike.com/collection...ducts/mixte-7i). My wife has a Linus, and it fits the need I have for something slower and relaxed. My other bikes are very fast, and I wanted something I can unwind on some days riding home from work. Plus, stepping through the frame is very attractive for me. I’m really tired of trying to swing my leg over things I put on the rear rack.

Look a real long bike ride yesterday when my legs got completely cramped only about 1.5 km from home and another hill to climb. A woman's bike would have made it easier and less painful to climb off.

Well the Azor arrived Friday and I'm still trying to find any "drawbacks" to it. This is one sturdy ol' beast.
