• the basic 501 raleighs have a tendency to snap at the dropout when ridden fixed.

    because it happened to you? user error probably.

    doesn't mean it's a tendency.
    they have no more,or less, inclination to break when ridden fixed, geared or otherwise. if they're going to go, they're going to go.

    20 year old cheap steel frames are a gamble anyway, you can't know how much rust there is inside.
