Pierce,

I plan to use this for a Fixie, mainly Road Touring, just biking to work, mostly on flat ground.

all you've told us is its a 'new' 1980's frame. there's a LOT of room for variations there.

measure the BB shell width, most typically thats 68mm. also measure the rear axle spacing between the inside of the dropouts as that will constraint what rear wheels you can use and how many gears you can run, I'd expect that to be 126mm or 130mm if its a road frame, and 135mm if its a mountain frame....
