The OP posted here, so I responded here. I own no converted road frames myself, I have no use for them. All of my fixed gear bikes are track bikes. However, converting a road bike to fixed in such a way that it does no irreversible harm isn't a travesty imo. If it's a nicer model, such as a paramount, colnago, etc. I would advise against a conversion. But for a something like a schwinn world sport or raleigh grand prix, then go for it.
