I wonder if any on the list have converted the rear drop-outs from a road frame to track drop-outs, and if so, were there any non-anticipated effects that he or she would like to have known before the conversion.
Last week I received an early 1960's Frejus that had the right rear drop-ou t broken while being shipped to me. I checked Matt Assenmacher's site to determine the cost of replacing the drop-outs. And I began to play with the idea of converting the broken road drop-outs into track ones and use this a s my winter commuter to school with a fixed gear.
Any thoughts on such a conversion would be appreciated.
Thank you.
Cheers.
Tom
