Here she is [with the heavier classic saddle and additional freewheel]. My Lotus - nothing was cut off!

Reminds me of the "Girl from Impanema". But, the one brake hood?

I suppose the fixie purists wouldn't have any. It should only need a front brake.

Can you tell I didn't rider her yet? I left 10 minutes after posting for a 520 mile round trip to VA Tech. I just got home. I have a super light titanium rail saddle I picked up in a trade that I may install. This one is kind of old school with big rivets and springs - but it was $13 new.
