Those dropouts make it a poor candidate for a fixed gear. [strike]You will need a chain tensioner, which will ugly up the build[/strike]. You'd be better off finding a frame with horizontal dropouts, or better yet, a track frame.

It is a very nice looking frame, though.

edit: as pointed out below, you shouldn't use a chain tensioner with a fixed gear drivetrain. I was thinking of single speed.
