Whats 5 degrees between friends? 
Anyway, you know me, I'll build it however you want it. Unless it's ugly or stupid, of course.
What do you think about the removable brake housing guides idea? Flexibility being next to godliness and all, especially when you're ponying up for something custom.

Anyway, the idea's out there for anyone that wants it as a no cost option to their next Fixie.

What about "old school" campy style cable guides, no braze ons needed?

David Caradine wears a Q ray bracelette.. I'll not look to him for sage advice.
Hey, in that concept, will the bottom brackette be higher than a track frame.. The idea bieng that you could get a decent sized crank on it?

All Thylacine frames are custom, so anything reasonable flies. In my opinion a typical road fixie would probably have a road style BB height so you could run 170/175mm cranks, clearance for 30c tires etc. Coming off an actual track bike that you're riding on road, the difference would be pretty huge.
