Should I look at the stickies about fit, or just ask this redundant question again and again?

That's much too smart.

I refuse to buy anything chrome though, so there's that.

Should I sell my Cervelo S2 and get a c'dale super six evo?

I see. Well my friend swears by his Chrome Turks, but he's only done like 11 miles in them at the most. I think I'll stick with my Shimano m162 for now though.

Ive done 50-60 mile rides and my feet felt fine the whole time. I just find it hard to wear a road shoe when in cut offs, just looks awful so the dzrs are perfect for summer time riding around/activities(assuming this is what you are looking for).

Started saving for my next bike. Should I build up an On One Pompino (commuter, errand, everyday bike), or a Pake French 75 (longer, faster rides)? They will serve different purposes obviously, and I plan to build up both...eventually.

Convert or buy new?
Should I...
Convert my '81 Sekai (see sig) to ss/fixie, or buy a new complete bike from BD?
I don't understand 100% everything I would need, but I have a few parts I could sell/trade.
Pretty sure I'd need: new chainring, cog, hub, spacers or wheel, bar tape, and maybe more?
Which would be more wallet-friendly?

I'd just buy a new bike. I'd only convert if drivetrain components irreparably broke down. Plus, you'd get to shop for a new bike!
