Qwert,
some clarification needed - what constitutes a custom Mixte Question

I've started mine and due to low ground clearance have had to mod the frame slightly - do we call that a custom? So the stock Mixte has only the 3 frame cuts and any further mods from there deem it to be a custom?

Custom Mixte would include bikes such as my swinging mixte or wellcharged low low Mixte.
So any Mixte with extra chopping or weilding to the frame other than the usual seat stay and seat tube chop, would put it in Custom category, so add your own touches, flames, tiki, attached weilded grifter etc to your mixte.

HA HA - might just have a go at attaching a Gr*fter frame to the mixte for the crack!

grifter based bikes may be the finest type of custom chop!!!
I seem to remember a really cool chopper style one from billing a few years back???
anybody remember it?

Is that a pink 24inch at the front??

Aye - bit of a find I gather, I know you built your boy one based around a 24 incher, they don't come up too often. Already stripped and sitting on some 18" grey mags with pink tyres..............nice.
