oh man, help us make a decision.

so. my friend wants to go fixed. he has two options.

a) convert the trek he has (apparently something pretty nice for its time? there is no model name on the bike, just "avocet" on the seat), which is reynolds 531, forged dropouts, nice (i think, i'm no expert) vintage parts - campy headset, suntour derailers, sugino maxy cranks. There are no braze ons on the top tube.

b) sell said bike (we are unsure of how much it's worth/we could get) and pick up a cheap entry level track frame and cheapo parts.

anyway, i say convert. my roommate votes sell and get cheap track, my friend who's bike it is is unsure.

anyway. we'd appreciate any input. thanks guys
