It rode well, unless you tried freewheeling while out of the saddle, in which case it crashed hard. I modibodgified a standard 6-speed tensioner. Not skidable, as trying to skid a Powertap rear hub makes Bad Things Happen when the internal torque tube unwinds itself - that's why Powertap track hubs use splined White Industry cogs rather than conventional threaded cogs. Still used two calipers, yes - I do on any non-track fixed gear bike. Used a Powertap track hub, modified to reduce the OLN.

How did it handle being fixed? I assume you used the standard tensioner? Skidable? Use two calipers still?
What hub did you use?
Sorry for all the questions you've just pricked my ears to summin that could be very fun
