After a massive clean up last Christmas, the only step through frame in my inventory is this Mixte. So putting the question out there, are Mixte builds allowed?

A lot of mixte frames have strange geometry that has a short seat tube or other features that bring the top bar higher than we were thinkingI asked back in June about a mixte frame and got no as an answer, but:
"These rules are a work in progress and not official (6/17/24)"
This is good news as I have a good mixte frame for another entry now.![]()
I'd change the fork and stretch the back you can get alot of spread in a mixieWhen I picked up this one, it was somewhat of a breach cruiser Mixte, wearing 26x1.75 tyres. Thought it would make a cool build with some fat 26s, as most Mixte's I've come across are for skinny 27s.
Some pics trialling a 26x2.25?
Fitted up, these are bigger than my maxxis DTH 2.3s, and equivalent to my DMR 2.4s.
