The main problem I encountered when I started converting a classic steel road frame to fixed was the width of the rear dropouts - 126mm and my stays were too rigid to easily squeeze them onto my 120 80's campag record hub - spacers would mean a new rear axle - not easy, and alter the chain line. Plus a horrible gap between dropouts and sprocket - heaven forbid. Not for the perfectionist.
