Fixed gear cyclocross options
Does anyone know of any cyclocross frames with derailer hangers that can be easily run as fixed gears besides the cross check? Has anyone managed to make a Bianchi Volpe/Castro Valley or a Kona Jake into a fixed gear?

you could always drill the bb of any non-geared cx bike though and use some bolt on cable stops and a axle hanger.

I'd be keen to find a source for bolt on cable stops (for downtubes and/or stays). In the past three weeks I have vistited almost 20 LBSs and found none. Do you know of anyone that still makes them? Or has any for sale?
