Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Would this Team Fuji make a safe conversion?
Hello everyone,

Wondering if this Team Fuji 12 speed would make a safe fixed gear conversion? Want to verify before I pick it up today. Thanks!

looks like a fine candidate to me: horizontal dropouts, cotterless cranks, asian (rather than proprietary french or something). looks solid.

Plus downtube shifters. Good candidate.
