But it would not be a PX10.
I'd buy a set of fixed wheels and Portland is not a bad place to find some deals, City Bikes often has some nice fixed wheel sets at a good price or you could buy a set off the peg from many shops.
The chain line might require you to run the chain ring to the inside of the spider... for Portland I'd be looking for a gearing around 72 GI so if you have to stomp it up Clinton your knees won't hate you.
Keep all the original bits and leave the brakes on... you might want a flip flop hub with an SS / FG combo.
