For more photos of this type of "hot rod" go to http://www.fixedgeargallery.com and scroll down to their "search function" by keyword and type in mixte. Better looking than the much pricier,highly vaunted Flying Gate IMHO. Art-sometimes humble-Link,San Antonio,TX,USA

Not trying to veer OT, but although mixtes never appealed to me before, but lately I've come to see their lines as aggressive and sleek in a way, and appreciate them more.
Has anyone seen this one on Cyclofiend?:

It's not outfitted the way Bob describes, and it would take me some getting used to taking off from a stop out of the saddle with the narrow bars, but it's a neat "hot rod" (to my eyes) style bike that makes me want to keep my eyes open for one.
