But like [MENTION=164476]Scrodzilla[/MENTION] says, just ride your bike for now. My fixed-gear is a conversion built up from old road components, too, and sometimes I notice drivetrain noise and sometimes I don't. If you haven't already, you might see if oiling your chain (and then wiping it down thoroughly afterward) quiets it down.
