As a previous converter of a few and a half frames, let me say that if you convert that frame and you fall in love with riding fixed, you'll end up buying a proper track frame anyway (you won't be able to stop yourself). By then you will have chipped some paint, worn in the bike a bit more....
If you don't fall in love with riding fixed and are cleverer than the rest of us (realizing it's actually a step backwards in bike evolution) then you'll end up sticking the gears back on PLUS you'll never know whether it was just the frame that you didn't like the positioning of for fixed or riding fixed itself.
Perhaps selling in bits would give you a bit more of a profit on ebay. But if you really like the bike, then at the end of the day you're talking to a bunch of people who understand why it's perfectly acceptable to have 2,3, or 30 bikes...
