I love SS/FG bikes a lot but taking apart a perfectly good 11 speed road bike to bodge together a conversion to single speed is just silly. If you want a single speed, get one. They are easy to find with nice track ends where you can adjust chain tension as the good lord Allah intended.
Get another Langster, they are great bikes and dedicated SS/FG platforms. The steel version was great and you might be able to pick one up or one of the many steel fixed gears out there that aren't total crap.
