Sergeant Pluck - What's the saddle bag on the BJ?
First check how wide the rear dropouts are. If you're going SS then you should be able to just re-use the rear wheel. Take the cassett off and replace with a ss freewheel.
Then get a new crankset. If the rear is 120mm then a 42mm chainline should be fine - check the transmissions database to see what BB works with what what crankset.
The strip off the excess parts.
Also read sheldon brown and check the mech and fixing section one here - there's a list of good websites. There's a really good link to a video on fixedgeargallery in there (this one: p://www.fixedgeargallery.com/colu...age/indexb.htm).
Hope that helps.
