I like fixed and I hate cats, so I guess I will have to build another one. But, I am little more subdued than this guy. I just take off the components, shorten the chain and correct the chainline. Oh, and get a fixed or a flip flop hub.
I've been thinking about building a new one. I want one with braze-ons for a rack so I can more easily ride it to work. And probably a little lower gearing, since yesterday when I turned onto the bridge over the Rocky River, I had a head wind that just about stopped me. I think lower gearing would be good for windy days.
The trouble is finding the right frame. I need one with rack braze-ons and not downtube shifter braze-ons or built for cantilever brakes. I don't remove anything from the frames so I really don't want these braze-ons just sticking out.
