Great frames are the "Ron Cooper" too sad that he passed away relatively recently--and yes I do have one but not as a fixie.
If one uses a fixie make sure your knees are strong and feet well aligned--personally I would not recommend it to a cyclist of a certain age! It is for the young and the messengers that I see here in San Francisco! Those fixies are great to look at, very elegant, cycling at its purest form!
And of course a fixie has no freewheel otherwise it is not one.
