Try putting the word out amongst your friends/family that you're looking for an old racing bike, you never know who might have one sitting in their shed, also try your local freecycle group.
If you can get your hands on one then you have almost everything you need to build your first fixie, the only thing you'll need to get is a fixed rear wheel. Then you'll have something unique that you built yourself, rather than just another off the peg bike.
