A Peugeot PR-10/PKN-10 might be a good choice, as well, because of the relatively high bottom bracket and low weight. I still think a hand-controlled freewheel clutch would be a nice safety/convenience feature for a fixed gear, giving one the best of both worlds, and allowing a multispeed fixed-gear application of a Cambio Corsa. That would almost be enough to convince me to try it. (I REALLY like my gears!)
