Maybe you consider putting a flip-flop hub on - free wheel and switch to fixy when you're in the right neighborhood?
ehh, too much work and still not the appropriate choice. I live in a hilly cobblestoned city centre (the city centre IS the top of the hill too) with zero bicycle infrastructure and at this point I might as well get gears and wider tyres. This served me well when I lived in Lisbon though, much better infrastructure and not as hilly.
Very Interested In frame and fork if you split. Did you get it off @IndieStu?
I'll let you know if I end up splitting but it's unlikely ;)
I didn't get it from him, I actually asked him about it at the time! I bought it from a German seller on ebay just a few days after seeing IndieStu post his same track Peugeot on reddit. It turns out it wasn't him and they're two different frames :)
Besides mine and his, from a few google searches at the time, I found an American collector with another one of these frames and someone in Australia using one as well.
