I'm afraid thats not going to happen. I much prefer fixed gear, due to the increased control, the more personal riding experience and despite the fact the frame is a road frame it will be a fixed gear. The seller also gave me a specific gear ratio for when going single speed (48,16) which gives a good chain tension. If its still too loose I can fiddle around with half links...

If you really like fixed gear bikes you should have looked for a more specific frame I think... unless you got it for really cheap :)
Plus all those cable guides, dt aero shifter braze-on, wrong rear spacing, holes everywhere while fixed/brakeless (I assume it will be) will send it straight to anti.
I repeat, everybody can do what they feel like, but I can't understand why paying attention to saddle, cages and seatpost when the whole build will be awkward from the beginning.
If the plans are to make it fixed, don't bother too much about the choice of the right saddle colour :DAnd we are not saying that geared is better than fixed or viceversa, but with this frame you should go for gears, no other choices imo

Will you be just able to use 48-16? Hope you don't have skids in your mind, apart from that it's a nice ratio.

Yeah you kind of lost my interest when I saw that you are converting this one.. Please build it up geared, it will be a sick machine. See mine on the previous page.
