Starting a single speed bike project

Not sure if anyone is into single speed/fixed gear bikes, but I'm starting a build on a single speed. Fixed gear is cool, but you have to be nuts to ride them here in Seattle (or SF or anyplace with hills for that matter.....).

Picked the bike up for $150, and it is rock solid. I feel a bit bad taking down a perfectly workable old steel dreadnaught, but I'm not altering any original parts, so it can be returned to org if need be. It rides beautifully as is. You forget how smooth a steel frame is going down the road.

Already test mounted the 700c wheels off my road bike, and the diacomps reach them just fine.

Anyone into this lunacy, or do you guy have lives?
