Lovely build.
100% recommend one of these:

Sorts the ungainly problem of a cable, looks great and protects your bike during locking up (also it crossed my mind that if I slammed into the top tube it would soften the blow somewhat, despite not having done that since I was about 10).
Plus bonus points of supporting a person in Ukraine where they are made.

After spending a long time looking for a nice probably steel frame to build a road fixed and failing to finding anything matching both my size and my budget, I got fed up while drinking and won this frame with a cheap bid.
It's not as cool as e.g. an njs frame for road training with brake holes and cage bosses but it rides better than I expected
I should really put a rear brake on as part of the point of this was to have a fixed bike that's legal here but after building it now I just don't want to cable tie a brake cable to the top tube...
