He is right, in some ways about the 700 mark.
But if you are worried about cost, get an otp and be done with it. Heck, even the surly comes in at less than 700.
I do spend an awful lot of my time explaining to people who have decided that (although they posses no mechnical skills) they want to convert an old bike into a sweet fixie on the cheap. There is an awful lot of cost involved in this, and there is no promise that the result won't lead to a cracked frame or some proper pedal strike trauma.
