opinions on fixie

I have a very early Fondriest that I was going to sell, then thought what the heck why not fixie it, even though I've never been real big on the idea, but now I'm committed to it, but it turns out that the semi horizontal dropouts might make it a little tough in combination with the insanely tight clearance for the rear tire and seat tube.

So I might just start from scratch. I like the short top tube of the Soma Rush track, but not sure I want a 75 head tube. The Surly Steamroller looks great, but I fit best on a tall bike with a shorter top tube, and it's a sqaure 60cm.

And then I could just go back to ebay and look at stuff like this....

Any other thoughts?

TIA
