Fixies come out of the track bike, urban messenger bike phenomena. They're not as hard to ride as you imagine. As for appeal, for me it's simplicity and aesthetics. However, since was originally a geared bike, I could easily hang a groupo of my choice on it, if I wanted. I have a Dura Ace groupo from a bike I used to ride lingering in my closet, so I might do that as a winter project. Series Paramounts are the Asian bikes PDG contracted to make as Chicago and Waterford operations went dormant in the 90s. They're great Tange frames and are underrated. Thusly, they are way less desirable than the U.S. Paramounts. Ergo, a good deal for a better than decent frame suitable for fast road work or older guy doddering, lol.
