Nice bike, spinelust.
I too recommend trying out a fixed gear. I don't want to say that they're more hardcore because I don't want to feed into the all the bullshit bravado that a lot of fixie riders seem to have, but they're definitely more something. It's nice to brake with your feet (though I still have a front brake for the unexpected). I almost fell the first time I tried it; it definitely makes you rewrite your muscle memory.
My problem right now with mine is that I overused a chain and deformed the teeth on my drive train. I got a new chain, but it isn't deformed like my gears, so that when I pedal it makes an annoying "settling" noise. I guess next time I won't wait until my chain is completely fucked to replace it.
