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?

Lurker with some frame questions

Hello, I've been lurking for some time and I'm going to begin a fixie build (with a flip flop). I've been looking for an older steel frame to build on. I weight about 245 and I'm 6'2. I was thinking about getting a frame like this:

https://cgi.ebay.com/23-Lugged-steel-...?pt=Road_Bikes

Would something like this be a good option? It seems like frames in that size are hard to find. It looks like it has a standard english bb, so that shouldn't be an issue. It also looks to have an older threaded steer tube, I'm assuming threaded are easy to set up? Also, I'm assuming this was setup for 27" wheels, could I run never 700's on it?

Any frame suggestions would be great, if there is a frame thread please point me in the correct direction.

Thanks
