@stroller - Langster would be fixed but new frame would be geared (possibly Cube Litening from bike-discount.de).
I have never ridden Swain's itself (only parallel climbs) so unsure of gearing. Am in the peak district this weekend but will do a recce one evening next week. Currently planning 38x19 but that sounds quite hardcore considering I'd be in 34x28 for parts if spinning.
Swains is pretty good for fixed. No idea on gearing but it sounds like you know what you’re doing. I’ve always been tempted to build a super lightweight fixed HC bike but I’d be terrified of picking the wrong gearing.
