Too late!
If they are 27" wheels, then measure the required brake reach with a 700c. This could really make or break your project. I've got a pair of
these Miche calipers on a 27" bike so I can use 700c if I want, and they're OK. I wouldnt want them any longer though.

Oooh, just saw that. He copped the wrath of xbrendanx.
Seriously evilgenius, until you have an encyclopaedic knowledge of track bikes and such, be a Milford man on the fixed forums (seen and not heard). It's not that they're bad blokes (in fact they are tops), but they are just tired of noobs coming on and trashing the joint with inane questions.
You clearly have a lot of enthusiasm for building a bike, but instead of asking heaps of questions on forums and expecting good quality answers try to seek the answer yourself from the intarwebs, I can guarantee it's in there somewhere.
Best o' luck mate.
EDIT - the encyclopaedic bit came out wrong. Its not like everyone on there knows everything about track bikes and stuff, but they have a basic working knowledge of whats what and seem to smash anyone who doesn't, even though they were once in the exact same place you are right now.
