Here’s Soma’s descrition of the Buena Vista.
A true mixte frame with the double top tube/stays. Obviously offers lots of standover height and style as well. You’ll find the geometry is more sporty than stodgy, though it can be built up into a more upright sort of ride. Drop bars? Sure. Moustache bars? Of course.
