    I'd love to, but I don't think I'd get too far on 48x17

    Two options; a) chuck a 44 on (either end but I recommend the chainring) for a day/weekend) or 2) HTFU. Last year I hauled myself out on the club Christmas dinner ride on 42x16 and had a decent half days ride. While the Peak is renown for it's climbs, there are some more gentle sections out there that are pretty good for fixed. I do reccomend a front brake though, in case any bits of descent do get away from you.
