I think people get too precious, I wouldn't go grinding stuff off, but why not run fixed if you want to?
a lot of road frames represent excellent geometry for a road fixed. I'm not a fan of forward facing dropouts, but they do work.
Personally, I'd want something modern to run gears. for me that means long distance + speed. and I'd want lightweight, smooth gears and carbon!
