Too steep for a fixie/ss?

You could just convert your current bike into SS with a single speed conversion kit for under 20 quid. If the front chain rings are fine it should get you up and running quite quickly and cheaply.

I had thought of doing this, but the bottom bracket is knackered, and the front chain rings aren't that straight either, so it's more hassle than it's worth, that, along with the frame weight an absolute tonne!
