If you aren't sure how many gear inches you prefer couldn't you get a road bike, keep it in a gear for a day or two to see if you like it and let the mechanic get the numbers off what gears you are currently in?

Yup, count the teeth if you don't have them memorized already; then plug into either the Rabbit application or use www.sheldonbrown.com/gears
Because of the bit of slack due to the derailleur, your fixed gear ratio will probably be a little bit different.
