Just won this mercian 753 on ebay for too much, and stupidly without enough info, but it's a lovely frame and the right size.
I don't have it in my posession so this is the bext pic I have, but I'm worried about the rear dropouts. They look long semi-vertical so chain tensioning might not be a problem?
It's my first proper build and I'd prefer not to be fucking around with magic gear or eccentric hubs.... can I make it work fixed?

if the worst comes to worst you could always get Mercian to weld in some track ends on there.
Looks fine though, may be the angle of bike / photograph.

yes, you can. my first conversion had semi verts. i thought it would be hell but i was lucky and 46x18 worked first time. find a friend with many sprockets and chainrings and spend a day finding the right gear, it will happen. focus on the semi part, not the vert.they're not ideal but workable.

Yeh was thinking I could do that--if I get it done properly it won't weaken the back end will it?
-
• #3994
After spending all that money surely you'd have been better off getting a track frame.
-
• #3995
Surely I would have been. But I didn't. It was spur of the moment and the dropouts looked ok. Finding nice frames in my size is difficult. I haven't paid for it yet....

Ok, so this is fairly off topic...but i know there's a few drummers on here.
And it has been a current project of mine.
And it was done with the help of the Armourtex.
And it looked well boring before. Indeed.

I like the new frame BDW. RPM is going to have some serious competition come the spring.

Align your tyres with your valves slacker! Speaking of slackers, you need to bring that wheel back a smidge. I hope a man of your power is not using SPDs on the track.. and while I'm at it.. get rid of the valve caps!
Can I have your bike now please sir?
yeah i like shiny silver, but i also like white, and i like the white/blue/orange combo i'm going for but i can see in the future stripping all the paint and polishing it up a nice silver and then at some stage powder coatinging it all black for stealth bike... and then maybe all white... =)
