dont want to be negative but i dont think you should convert that. yes you can make is FG/SS, but its never going to be a zippy fast bike as its designed for touring. keep it geared and find an old racer to convert if you must.
i did some lightweight fixed touring and thought it was fine, but now ive had my geared bike for a while i think youd have to mad. i love riding with one gear, but not when you trying to cover lots of distance across country when your hauling a bunch of weight.
