I'm certainly comfortable, perhaps the most comfortable I've ever been on a bike after switching the to an upright position. I just thought I was missing something (perhaps being in a more aggressive form is all around better for riding fixed...I dunno...).
There are lots of fixed gear riders where I live....most on bikes with drops, some with bullhorn bars, and a few with BMX style handlebars...none that I've seen with more 'casual' style bars.
