Please provide knowledge on this frameset!
Hey guys I'm looking for a new frame to start a new bike and what wondering if anybody had knowledge as to it's pros and cons. I would probably turn it into a fixie because I like older frames to use as a starting point. Thank you.

Nice frame, you can't go wrong with 531. If you have to do a fixie conversion, for the love of all things bicycle don't cut off any of braze-ons and don't chop off the derailleur hanger. I have seen too many great frames castrated by some nimrod with a torch and a hand grinder. enjoy.

If you want to build a fixie get a new inexpensive steel frame like Pake Rum Runner or Fyxation Eastside and leave that frame for someone who will restore it to road greatness. And that's from a fixie owner
