Been lurking in the background for a while now and a combination of this forum and the fixed gear gallery has gotten me hooked, so hi to you all.
Anyway, a couple of months ago i bought a Giant road bike (before i discovered fixed or SS) i'm a bit cheesed off at the moment as i could have had one of the Charge bikes for around the same price, i have bought a single speed conversion kit but sadly because of the vertical dropouts i needed a tensioner but it is far to noisey and just doesn't look right, the term " Trying To Polish A Turd" has now sprung to mind.
I now feel that my only option is a new frame and switch most bits over.....Soooo can anyone recommend a frame for around £200 or less so i can get myself out of this FIX,Cheers.
