This should be a very simple conversion - the rear dropout width will probably be 126mm but it is easy to squeeze the dropouts down to 120mm suitable for most track hubs. I suspect this was a frame Rotrax bought in but it should serve pretty well as a fixie. If you use 700C wheels the bottom bracket height might be a little low but 165mm cranks and/or pedals with better than average cornering clearance (with clips and straps Shimano's older aero pedals are ideal) or SPDs there should not be a problem.
