Planet X track bike on the road

[exgtt]

Slowly being seduced by this, the weight is crazy and the price is tempting. Id be getting some front forks pre drilled to take brakes.

Can a flip flop rear hub be fitted to the rear? I'm a complete fixed wheel novice and would like to have the choice, is it possible?

Also that front wheel looks quite set back, i dont use lots of lock on the road, is it going to be a major issue with overlap with my feet, has anyone done something similer? Seems crazy back to basics value...

Cheers guys!

The ride to work is about 4 miles and aint hilly (bramley to leeds cc), ive a cyclo cross bike and although i use it everyday im lazy and use the gears all the time. I could tolerate SS, but FW im not sure ill get on with. TBH it will be a bit of a toy, id like to take it to a track and see what thats like.

Just dont want to end up hating it and wasting my money if its unrideable on the road.

How come was it just too much or you fancied a change?
