Oh and "Mixte" is French for "mixed" (if you couldn't guess). It's unisex, like all bikes, but mixed by means of halfway between a "traditional" men's and women's frame. Only slightly heavier than a regular frame but also a bit stiffer in the drivetrain (and that's good).
I was thinking the same thing about converting the Bridgestone into a fixie. I have an extra seatpost that I'll throw on tonight.
One drawback of the mixte when I first got it was the weight, esp. the rear end.
