Haha... I better not let my wife read your post.

Three reasons, the second two being the most important, and first being my rationalization for the second two.

1) Having a dedicated fixie will force me to improve my fixie riding skills.
2) I really want a bike with a nice steel lugged frame that looks "pretty".
3) It's a good excuse, or at least some excuse, to get another bike (see #2).

At least I'm honest about my follys.
