Fixed wheel help

[TheThing]

Hi all, I've got an old cannondale bad boy hybrid that I've been wondering what to do with. I've Been thinking about converting it to a fixed wheeler. Can anyone shed some light on the parts I'd need? Any specific tools I'd need? Best sprocket size ect. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the replies. Much appreciated. This sounds a bit more involved than i originally imagined. I Can see this getting expensive. As for looks I would like it to look as minimilistic as possible. As for gearing im not sure. I haven't done any cycling for a while now so dont want anything to heavy.

Thanks for all the replies guys. No unfortunately its not the one with the eccentric bottom bracket. That would of made life a lot easier if it were. Would like to be able to flit between fixed wheel and single speed if i wished so I may purchase a rear wheel already able to do both. Would like to keep the cost as little as possible though.

Thanks again fellas. Never ridden fixed before but would like to get a rear wheel that will allow me to flit between fixed and single speed. After a bit of research i think im going to go for an eccentric bottom bracket as this seems the cheapest and cleanest looking route. It will have to wait until after my holiday though until the work (spending) begins.
