Not getting any responses from the BMX forum so maybe some in this SS / FG forum can offer advice?
Im not a bmx / freestyle bike guy and bought the referenced all-city bike for fun and thinking I may convert to more of a track style bike for city crusing. Any comments or suggestions are appreciated.

Its a fixed gear freestyle trickin' frame/bike - what more do you need to know? There's a subforum for that stuff right below this one. Is 10 years or so old considered vintage in the FGFS genre?
Have fun...

A buddy of mine had this frame and he kept running into issues with the mid bottom bracket. Those bb's are sturdy as hell for bmx's but seem to wear out faster when run in a fixed gear set up. Otherwise, it's a great frame if you can find one. I've got a similar frame, with a traditional english thread BB and I love it (obv not a real cinelli lol).

My frame can be really versatile. I originally had it setup as a FGFS with a bmx stem, 3" riser bars and flip of the hub to a smaller gearing allows it to bar spin and easy skidzz. In the winter I throw full knobbies and throw some moustache bars on and it's a chill snow commuter.
