Wow! What a cool term; Fixte. I like that a lot. I know a guy in town who rides Fixtes. I'll have to tell him that name.
But no, my wife rides singlespeed. The Skull decal with the sprocket eyesocket came from OneGear.com.
I wish I had taken pictures of all the rust spots, scratches, scrapes, gouges, vise-grip teeth marks, and general nastiness of the original paint jobs on my bikes before I painted them. Well, I did on the mixte but apparently many of you think those paintjobs looked just fine. Trust me, they didn't.
One example:
If you want pics of some paintjobs I haven't painted over, check out the Schwinn Collegiate 3-speed and the John Howard frame

Don't worry, my Paramount and Pinarello Treviso frames will be painted by professionals and original-looking decals will be installed. The bikes I've been renovating have been very inexpensive ones that were headed for the scrap heap.
