1386.0. "Women's style frames" by BLKWDO::KWILSON (Just plane crazy) Wed Dec 20 1989 04:55

    Are there any specific reasons for not buying a "women's style" frame
    on a mountain bike? I have been shopping for a bike for my wife as a
    Christmas present and came upon what seems to be a pretty good deal
    on a Trek 800 Antelope. The price is $219. and the bike is an '89
    model. The bike will probably not see a great deal of use other than
    pleasure rides on weekends in the local deserts/mountains so I can't
    see spending a great deal of money. If any of you have comments 
    about the frame type, this particular bike or any others worthy of
    consideration please let me know. Only a few days left...

    This topic was discussed at length in an earlier topic. The bottom
    line is there is no GOOD reason buy a mixte frame. In fact, there
    are many reasons to not to buy one.
