The only issue with this is that you'd probably have to use a set of Profile (or similar) BMX cranks. Which in my experience is a shite idea for riding fixed.
I had an old set of Profiles that i slung on my first conversion, and due to their only being one bolt holding the chainring to the arm (through a soft aluminium sprocket) it worked loose every other day. They simply are not designed to be used cranking in both directions (from breaking forces etc.)
Although if riding round at 5 mph doing drops off 3 sets is your bag, then i guess a stronger Mid-BB / bmx crankset is probably more suited. Just remember your 5.5mm allen key.
