My Condor would definitely not appreciate being adulterated like that :)
I still want to keep a geared roadie for longer trips...
I was joking about the whole kids/fixed gear thing, you know that right?
(But yes, not about trying one out...)
I guess if I could get a not unattractive fixed in a decent size for under £300 I could/should do that first.
Once you're pushing 400 though I might as well build the Frankenstein bike I've always wanted!
Disc braked, single speed, 700x25 specced Roadrats are a staple build for that frame, the only weirdness would be making it fixed, so I don't think it's SO outlandish. Though one disc and bullhorns might be...
I really really like the look of the roadrat frame too. I know it's not the same aesthetic that many on here like, but it's personal taste, anyway :)
Am interested in all opinions though, though I would also like technical advice to tell me the above makes some kind of sense.
Been googling more and am thinking maybe I should go with an external BB track chainset like the Truvativ Omniums?
Or maybe these, for half the price: http://www.planet-x-bikes.co.uk/i/q/CSOOTC/on-one-external-bearing-track-crankset
