I will - and thanks for the compliments. It is an absolute joy to ride 44x17 is so great for me. Not too big for the hills, no too small for the tailwind or downhill. Reminding me how to spin. Got to get a 16 set up for the strong days. Less than 16 pounds and I get to ride it every day, and I didn't spend a (large) fortune. Fun, fun, fun. Tomorrow I may find out how she does in the snow.
I'm going to get some better pics of 'her this weekend with the different (Arione) saddle and (no decals, flat rise) stem. I'll send to to www.fixedgeargallery.com and to Kahuna (here). Some detail shots and such too.
I've never been a bullhorn guy. But the Salsa stem gives it that ironclad feel. Maybe some stiffer bars in the future, too. Sounds like you're havin' fun on yours. Sounds like you have a lot of bikes. That is what garages are for. If you have too many there is always Pennysaver or eBay. I think that road fixies make great training bikes, and for me, it will save me some hassle because some weeks I'll just leave my race wheels on the D-fly.
