I'll probably single speed it eventually, although for now, I'm just going to pump up the tires, change the brake cables, lube the rusty chain and ride it around a bit. It has fender eyelets and mounts for cantis (which it has) or center pull brakes. Now all I need is a super long seatpost!! Any of you singlespeed/fixed mountain bike dudes have any suggestions? (Chris I know you'll be glad to hear I finally got around to this!)
Next winter, you should commute on a Cervelo track frame, just like we discussed. This mountain bike of yours sounds like Brad's lil'hauler. Make sure you sport a rack with corresponding milk crate. Bonus points for rocking mustache bars.
