As far as I'm aware 43cm Mixte frames were only ever produced in Japan (nishiki springs to mind) and they aren't that common over here. The usual manufacturers of Mixte frames found here go down to c.48cm which is pretty small and more than okay for someone 4ft 11/5ft.
I built up a 48cm a couple of years ago for a lady friend who was 5ft tall and she even had the seatpost out a good few inches too.
My mum is a short arse 5 footer too and she used to ride a 21" Pug ladies racing frame. Having a larger frame also helps if you want a slightly raised front end so a more relaxed position without the need for a riser stem.
luck hunting

Looking for a nice mixte frame for my good lady wife - frame only or full bike...
Anyone got anything hanging around they want rid of?
