Although Thylacine Cycles has been pegged from the beginning as an MTB company predominantly, the goal has never been to actively pigeon-hole ourselves but instead base things on having fun, being different, and designing cool stuff. Like Mixtes, for example! Here’s one we did recently in a very lush candy apple red, with 650b wheels, custom stainless cable guides between the longstays, and simple lines.

   Spec-farking-tacular.

   What fork and drivetrain will be going on it?

   650b? That’s like a 27.5 inch tyre isn’t it?

   Yep, that’s right, 650b sorta kinda = 27.5.

   A rigid unicrown fork painted to match, and a SRAM 3 speed internal rear hub with XT cassette makes up the drivetrain.

   It’s mostly a commuter, but you could easily offroad it with some slightly bigger tyres. The woman who owns it lives in the middle of nowhere, so I suspect it might just get to see some offroad adventure miles.
