I also have the urge to get my hands on another 1984 Competition, to convert to a fixie, mainly to replicate Kevin Bacon's singlespeeded 1984 Competition from the movie Quicksilver. Never realized these things looked good fixed...

I haven't had a chance to get that paint stripped off yet. The wierd part is that I don't think it's paint; it almost seems like a vinyl coating that was stretched over the bb shell. One day when I have time to tear it down I'll get to it, but the stripper had little to no effect on it. It had a hard enough time getting the rest of the finish off-that stuff is stubborn.
