french threading... finding bottom brackets, headsets and stems and sometimes chainrings and pedals for old french bikes can be a huge PITA since the French decided to have their own set of threading standards

vertical dropouts are a huge PITA when it comes to converting a bike to fixed. you're going to have to find a magic gear ratio, or use the ENO.

decide which is the smaller PITA
