I've just been down to Brick Lane Bikes and it would appear that in their expert opinion, because of the rear drops being different lengths (see below), that although it could be converted to fixed, I'd have a hatful of problems with chain tensioning etc. I could go for singlespeed though...
It's put me off the whole idea to convert if it's not going to be straightforward as I'll be doing at least 100miles per week. Plus, the frame is slightly too big (thankfully I haven't forked any money out yet - it's my dad's old frame and the wheels are spares).
Any thoughts?
