Yes, I was also going to recommend 50/19.
Lower the gear inches, easier to skid and go up hills. Higher the gear ratio, harder to accelerate, pedal less to go faster.
Low 70's is always good. Im running about 73 right now.

just found this thread searching for how to do a DIY fixie and I am a little disappointed that a home made fixie hub wasn't achieved. On the other hand I can't say that I am surprised. I really like the way your bike turned out and it's awsome that you used a bike with a cottered crank. That is definitely working with what you have got. Nice work!
