Added to my fleet....
Started with a road bike and last year added a mountain bike. This year my hubby converted my old Bianchi road bike from the 80s into a fixie. After checking out many cool paint jobs, I told him to go with the "Italian" them. Have a white seat ordered to finish it off. I love the way it turned out! It's even personalized with my forum name and the slang in Italy for a "fixed bike" Thought you might enjoy the pictures. I love riding this new bike 
It will be a miracle if I actually correctly uploaded the pictures so you can see them!

Very cool! I really like the white chain.
I rode my fixie a few weeks ago. It is still a blast. Just pedal, pedal, pedal.

But have you posted pics on the Fixed Gear/Single Speed forum yet? That's where you'll get the interesting feedback.
And I'm seriously thinking we need to get a BFNIC fixed gear ride sometime. Might be a small group, but that makes coordinating a ride easier. Any possible interest out there?

When I got my last fixie I went to post over there and was quickly reminded that I am far too old and far too square to roll with those guys. So it was quickly back to my corner where I belong.
