A friend did this his Bob Jackson track bicycle years ago. He used a claw
hangar derailleur and built it up full campagnolo nouveau record. I do
not believe that he had a rear brake. Obviously, that is an issue to
consider. Otherwise, he enjoyed the bicycle very much and it was a very
big deal that he could get the rearwheel so close to the seats tube. Good
luck.
