From: Where even Richard Nixon has got soul

Bikes: Michelle Pfieffer, the Carbon Fiber Wonder Bike: A Kestrel 200 SCI Repainted in glorious mango; Old Paintless, A Litespeed Obed; The Bike With No Name: A Bianchi Eros; RegularBike: A Parkpre Comp Ltd rebuilt as a singlespeed.

A "fixie" is, generally a fixed gear bicycle. There is no freewheel. When the pedals move, the rear wheel moves. Pedal backwards, the rear wheel moves backwards. Stop pedalling, the rear wheel stops.

Full restoration means different things to different people, I suppose. I personally think that a vintage bicycle should be restored with original spec parts. Otherwise, I'd call the bike "rebuilt."
