Find a touring frame with horizontal drop outs and you are sorted. These will be pre 1990 now or some thing new from surly or similar.
I say go for a touring frame as it will have right geometry etc and also have all the braze ons you might need. However, Sheldon Brown also suggested old english roadsters with 3 speeds as good potential fixed frames.
Old steel MTB frames from before 89/90 can also be good for a conversion to fixed
Wheel quality is also critical here.
