I have a single-speed conversion, but it's a freewheel. I only really see the advantage of a fixed gear in winter (kind of like having antilock brakes), and I like my knees. I also like to coast fast down steep hills and I like brakes. If you know what you're doing it won't take that long, but you'll need to get spacers to make up for the room taken up by the gear cassette that won't be there anymore. There is really no call for gears where I live, and my bike is fast. I have a 53 in front and a 16 in the back.
