Converting to Fixed Gear, what to do??

So next thing is your wheels and drive train. Have you been able to remove the cassette from the wheel yet?
any pictures you can post would be super helpful also.

Everything is off the bike, the rear wheel is stripped, I'm replacing the spokes, the freewheel was a 5 speed Maillard.

The bike has been sanded, primed, painted. I just need new rubber front and back. In the coming months I will have the wheels respoked.

I just need to know about sizes and what not for the conversion if I plan to do it.

Also... what "canadian" store would sell such kits???
