What a smashing project! I really envy you, as I'm looking for somewhere with brazing kit at the moment.
I'd say go for a simple utility singlespeed frame (saving on brazeon faff) made of plain-gauge tubing. You should be able to make decent track ends from mild steel plate. If you get it right you'll end up with something broadly comparable to a Surly Steamroller or a Charge Plug without risking any great amount of money. I can attest that riding a frame you've built yourself is a great, great joy.
