booyah,
just cave in. i bought a fixie on pretty much a whim with our team order since khs sponsors us and let me tell you, it's by far my FAVORITE bike. i have other bikes that are worth significantly more, but i still love my fixed and have been crying the past few weeks as i wait for my new wheelset to arrive. fixed to me presents a game of gauging what actions people and cars will make and needing to dodge them. some might see riding brakeless as stupid, but i like the adrenaline.
