Thanks cc700, simple, or 'clean' was what i was going for.
I'll explain, i'll explain..haha
I had the brake off the bike because i just bought a new brake setup (the last one was very 'rigged' up and barely worked) while at the same time switching to new peddels and straps. I was going to throw everything back on the bike and go out for some photos but i thought the biked looked a bit cleaner without the big chrome break / lever and the bulky straps.
So, i kept them off for the photos. I didn't take it off specifically for the photos (although thats what it seems..haha) just more already had them off, so i kept them off to keep the clean, simple look.

Ok, that makes decent sense. You certainly took some sweet pictures... made that bike look as good as it could possibly look.
I might try to find a fork with a little less rake if you can. That wheelbase is so not pro.

I'm currently starting my build on a more 'pro' fixed gear bike so i'm really done spending money on this one. I use this bike to commute around campus and it works well for that.

To prove I was not indeed hating on the new guy, I went outside and took a picture of my bike.
It's horribly out of focus, with a wide angle lens, and my bike looks like ****, but it's all I can get you in such short notice.
And here's a picture of my dog as well:
Still have lots to do to the bike, and it actually looks 10000x better in real life. Oh well.
So far all I've done is replaced pedals, and threw on an old saddle that's way more comfortable than the stock one. Flame away.

Here's budget rebuild #2 of my wifes bike. Started as an early 90's Giant hybrid. Redid it once a few years ago and converted to single speed. This time it gets a fresh repaint, new saddle/seatpost, crankset (the last version I just cut off the inner ring that was welded on) bars, wheels (26" white cruiser), and slicks.
Ditching the singles speed/brakes for a coaster setup. She doesn't ride that often, and it was a cheap wheelset.
I'm actually ditching those grips in the pic and going with these instead:

Color is Pistachio Green, and is actually a bit darker in real life. Satin paint with flat clear. This is a budget build.
