    You could replace the freehub with a Surly fixxer--that's if it comes
    off like a shimano one, with a 10mm allen, then mount up your choice
    of cog or freewheel.

    Or, you could spend 1/20th of that and use a $5 shimano DX cog on your
    existing freehub, spacered with PVC pipe cut to size and painted
    rattle can black. Looks cleaner than a stack of spacers. There are
    some kits out there for $20 or so that have pretty handsome spacers if
    the thought of plumbing on your bike induces class warfare.
