Classic styling and thoughtful design meet in the PUBLIC M7i for our modern take on the classic French mixte-bike design. Popular with women and men alike, the stylish and functional step-over mixte design is equally at home hauling groceries from your local market as it is on a speedy cross-town commute. We humbly think it's the best mixte bike you'll find.
Built around a lightweight, chromoly design that offers the impeccable balance of our best-selling step-through and diamond models, the PUBLIC M7i is a capable and classy bicycle perfect for city bike commuters and casual adventures alike. What truly makes the PUBLIC M7i one of the best mixte bikes on the market is the easy shifting Shimano Nexus 7-speed internal hub. This robust, durable and low-maintenance shifting system makes changing gears a breeze, and allows the rider to select the ideal gear whether pedaling quickly or at a full stop. This feature is particularly helpful when pedaling around town, where stop-and-go riding is common.
In addition to the upgraded and simplified drivetrain, the PUBLIC M7i mixte comes standard with our strongest double-walled alloy rims and powerful modern dual pivot brakes to ensure safe and reliable braking in all conditions. Also standard on all PUBLIC M7i mixte bikes are tires with 3M reflective sidewalls to provide additional visibility and safety at night.
We designed the PUBLIC M7i in response to customer requests for a high quality, stylish and fun, internally geared city bike that was easy to get on and off of and retained the sportier handling characteristics of our diamond frame bikes. As with all our bikes, we offer our unique Ready to Ride shipping option that delivers a fully assembled bike right to your doorstep and our zero-hassle philosophy ensures that each city bike will exceed your expectations.

*In the bicycle industry, suppliers and factories sometimes change specs without notice and state that they are "subject to change without notice". This is because bicycles are made from hundreds of parts which come from dozens of vendors. Parts are sometimes updated to the most current production generation/iteration one gets better or more current parts or a comparable part. Product specifications are subject to change without notice.
