Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

my touring bike is a Sekai and i love it. great frames. expect a very relaxed geometry though, and i assume you are a small kid (or building it for one) with a 49cm...

If youre that short Id go for it. With older bikes sometimes its hard to find the right BB, but you have that step covered. If you dont already have wheels or dont have a good bike co-op I might not do it though.
