I agree with both Booga and Aleksi. Get yourself a road worthy old racer (i plucked my old 80's beast from a car boot for 18 sheets and swear it had never been ridden-there are plenty of old racers out there) strip the unwanted linkage and larger crank get and heavy duty chain, a new back wheel with a fixed sproket and away you go. The fun part is researching what components you want and digging for them. In a few months time you will have a unique ride for a couple/few hundred quid and you get to enjoy all stages of development. By the end you learn a thing or two and will have the build bug! Roll on bike number two...
