All non cycling enthusiasts are this way!
They can never understand why we'd need so many different bikes.
Your suggestion is a good one, and I have been keeping an eye out for a good used vintage frame for a little while now, but ideally, I'd like to have a cyclocross/touring setup to allow for canti brakes and larger tires. It will most likely spend it's time as a singlespeed rather than a fixie.
This raises another question: Are horizontal dropouts or track forks preferred when building a singlespeed or fixed gear. Is one suited better for one or the other. track probably make removing wheels tough, so are there drawbacks for each one?
