Personally, I don't like conversions. This is my opinion.

I started this thread to find out if anyone else shared my opinion. The pic I posted above is the reason I don't like conversions. Again, my opinion. Hopefully, a person looking into getting into riding a fixed gear will come across this thread, read thru all of the BS & start with a good foundation, rather than getting any road frame & wasting time & money.

When I was looking to get back in, I read thru thread after thread of people co-signing conversions & pointing folks in that direction. Usually the time & money spent on a conversion could have landed them a sweet track bike.

Ignorance implies a person doesn't know better. This doesn't connotate anything negative about them or their bike. Yes, I called track ends horizontal dropouts out of ignorance.

Carry on.
