Thanks for the replies. I actually felt like a bit of a goon when they told me i couldn't go fixed unless i had the rear dropouts changed to track dropouts, and then told that "you'll have to bring it in mate so we can sort it out for you"!!!! I tried to gently suggest that the horizontal dropouts were more than ample to get good chain tension, but then told i would "forever be tighening the bolts up cos you cant have chain tensioners"
