I use my fixed gear for training, and I like the feel of having hoods on road drops. Maybe not the coolest for pimpin to the coffee shop, but I can switch hbars easily enough. I didn't like the floppy lever on the dummy side, so I held the lever firmly in place with a wood screw through the eye for the cable. Pull the plastic piece off the top of the lever, screw it down, then replace the plastic piece. No more floppy lever. Just make sure the screw is not so long that it bottoms out on the hbars. Enjoy.
