Thanks again !

Thanks, I think I can now safely say that I probably will try and resell the frame.

Can you give me a rough indicator for the price of frame ?

Due to my bike recently being stolen and me having to find a new method of transport and furthermore having wanted to build my own fixie ever since I drove that of a friend of mine two years ago I wanted to start building my own fixie.

I bought myself a Raleigh Royal frame (pictures attached) for a bargain price through some connections but now am starting to get my doubts.
For one thing due to all the tiny bits I need to buy new the predicted costs are continously rising, secondly I actually don't know if I really want a modified touring/racing bike, thirdly I am starting to notice that I lack the expertise.
Fourthly, here in Germany parts are harder to come by and more expensive.

So basically my question is:

What is my Frame worth in case I decide to chicken out and start with an easier project?
Paint not in excellent condition, no fork, and minor dent in upper tube.
Horizontal dropouts.

Can anyone tell me if there is a reason not to file off this screw preventing me from inserting the bottom bracket?

This is my first Fixed Gear build and I so far only have a frame and bottom bracket, but I am fairly sure that i bought thr right bracket, given that the Frame is a Raleigh Royal and the bracket should be (and is) a BSA.
