The fixxer itself is a good chunk out of a new rear wheel anyways. Even if you had money to drop, this is a money losing exercise unless you *really* *really* want to be a hipster.

SS would be about 90000x easier to do, and cheaper. All you have to do is buy chainring bolts, cog and spacers an maybe a tensioner.Total for this stuff can't be more than $60.
Thanks. I guess single speed it is.

Thanks all!
