different look to all my other bikes
Have you tried flat bars or risers? If it's for riding with your wide then they'll give you a more relaxed setup with a better braking position. I know some people get on with them but drops with a cross-top feel and look so awkward by comparison.
Also, see below for correct crank position for photos!

Thanks @funky_d, I do feel like I'm getting there! I wasn't sure about the Celeste tape either, but as most of it is black I think it works.
I toyed with hoods for comfort but will stick with the little lever for a different look to all my other bikes at least for now. Also I will only be likely to ride a max of about 25 miles as I got this to use when riding with my wife as she is slower than me and riding fixed gives me more of a work out (while looking cool haha). I may have been on this forum for 10 days, but failed to spot the road fixed thread so thanks for the tip haha.
I like the deep section rim look, but couldn't run without a front brake, I just wouldn't feel safe really. Call me wimp if you like...
