That singulatored bike up there ^^^ is from those people off gumtree isn't it?
http://www.gumtree.com/london/09/20584009.html I'm surprised they haven't got some stick from here yet...
Apart from the single speed - one brake thing (which i'm guily of myself) if you're going to go to all that effort of a respray, new wheels etc. maybe a cycle speedway bike to get round the fact that (like me) you're one of the little people is a better idea?

Then you get horizontal drop outs, potentially slightly smaller wheels, but they're intentially made smaller... I got my girlfriend one, she's only 5' 1 or something and it suits her. That and I like cycling on a bike with pink tassles on it.
