The Chainlink

OK, fess up, who rides the ladybug mixte?

Seen on Armitage recently.

Mixtes always catch my eye, they are really interesting on their own. When you see the advantage of the geometry, it can't be unseen. They give the strength of the ubiquitous diamond frame in a step-through.

But this one, yowza. Be still my beating heart.

Fun, stylish and practical. Not mine, but I give it a thumbs up.

Second: Internet says it came from ReCycle Art Aspen in Colorado.

The fenders appear to have been upgraded to Honjo (or maybe VO?).

Step-through?  I'd call it a drop-frame.  A step-through would have a curved drop bar and be much easier to step-through.
