Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Could be anything. It's pretty impossible to tell from those pics.

Whatever it is, it doesn't look particularly valuable, if that's what you're after.

you gotta do better than that Stew, it may be the most rare frame with terrible fixie parts on it, but we can't tell from your shots
take close ups of the dropouts, bottom bracket, fork crown, all major lugs, any real details to help us help you out

Judging by the distance between the sun, ans the moon; it appears to be an old chromed bike.

It's the very rare zero gravity bike. Only a few were made, because they ended up escaping earth's gravity and getting lost in space. Better chain that sucka down before you lose it.

Headset appears to be a Magistroni; these were found on many Italian bikes from the 50s through the 70s. Chrome socks on frame and fork with stamped dropouts are consistent with 70s mid level Italian frames, e.g. Atala "Grand Prix" or Bottecchia "Special." What's the bottom bracket thread? Is there a serial number? If so, what is it and where is it stamped? What do the lugs and seat cluster look like?
