The OP seems pretty clear to what use he wants to put the bike, and this doesn't include the use of braze-ons. Given that they're redundant, to my mind the bike is more aesthetically pleasing without them. One of the beauties of fixed gear bikes is their simplicity. Braze-ons look out of place if they're not being used.

In *your * opinion braze ons look out of place if not being used.

In *my *opinion (and clear a few other people posting in this thread feel similarly) they do nothing to detract from the look of a frame and while they couldn't be said to add anything, the removal of them without finishing the job and converting to track ends/proper clearances looks worse that if they were left.

Also, this

does not equal this,

in the slightest.
