About this product
This is a vintage 1970 Peugeot Mixte Touring Road Bike, featuring a small 51cm blue steel step-thru frame suitable for unisex adults. It comes with 27-inch wheels, drop bar handlebars, and a 12-speed Shimano derailleur gear system operated by stem shifters. The bike uses clincher tires and caliper side-pull brakes, with no suspension. Weighing 40 lbs, it also includes an adjustable seat and a bottle cage.
Our take
As a vintage enthusiast, this 1970 Peugeot Mixte caught my eye, and it certainly delivers on classic charm. The blue steel frame is robust and the step-thru design is practical. The 12 speeds are adequate for light touring or city cruising, and the stem shifters add to its period authenticity, though they take some getting used to compared to modern shifters. The 27-inch wheels roll smoothly with the clincher tires. While the 40 lb weight is manageable for a steel bike of this era, the lack of suspension and basic caliper brakes are true to its age but limit its performance on rougher roads. A great pick for someone wanting a piece of cycling history for casual rides.
