Thanks to everyone for the quick replies.

I really appreciate knowing it is not hopeless but also appreciate the advice that there is more to it than simply adding a double crankset to an existing fixed gear bike. I thought I could take a Masi Speciale Fixed and add a narrow double crank and front derailleur with a shifter and climb hills here. Can only imagine the sound of the chain grinding on the frame when I went to change gears or it falling completely off. No doubt it would do that while still on the bike repair stand with the first attempted revolution.

To Aaron_F awesome job and thanks for the details. It is beyond my skillset but I can at least show some skilled bike tech what you have already accomplished and ask for something along those lines.
