room in the original drop out to run fixed
Are you confusing his frame with the TT version perhaps? His frame had pretty much vertical dropouts with no room to move the wheel. For this to work you pretty much have to rely on magic ratio.
Not saying that selling it wasn't a better idea than chopping it, but yeah.
Tijs-

No, there is actually a little more room to move it up or down a couple millimetres due to the fact it's not 100% vertical, working out the magic gearing, plus halflink (if necessary) and a little adjusting is all it take, probably half a day worth of work if you're a little on the slow side.

I cannot understand why you go all the way as you actually got a small amount of room in the original drop out to run fixed with a half link if needed.
Basically you waste more money on making it weaker.
