I first rode fixed when I did a paper round at age 12 on my mother's old Claud Butler time trial bike.
Looking for kudos points ;)

I need to find some pics of this when I'm next at my mum's house. 531 obv and It was bright yellow, had chrome ends, red box lining, really fine lugs and the most amazing rear drop outs I've ever seen, lovely! Also it was from the time before CB were owned by Holdsworth. Unfortunately those fine lugs were it's demise, they started to crack and weep rust! My dad took it to the dump...
Any pics I find will however be in black and white haha. -
Looking to claim my kudos points now...
Here is my mum time trialing on said Claud Butler...

Sounds like you're enjoying life to me haha!
I also ride fixed most days and usually one ride fixed and one geared.

I didn't have a fixed gear bike again until 2001 (converted old 531 road frame) and recently bought another (track frame).
