Chainline: Need the rear wheel spacing, BB length, and Sheldon Brown's site should get you close.
Bars: Ideally they should be shoulder width.
yeah its what your thinking, its basically a long dropout but filled leaving only a small section still usable.
ok any idea how to go about drilling it out.
as far as my chainline goes im just wondering if with what i have will I or my lbs be able to play around with it to get a good chainline or am i looking at a new bb and stuff.
ok i'll measure the bars. what you guys think about drop bars for commuting(first time fixie and road rider)
