Hello all, I am new to the bike world and was wondering what components I would require to convert this frame into a single speed/fixed gear bike. Listed below is the information and measurements that I have on the bike. Any suggestions for parts, and advice is hugely appreciated. I am hoping to do it for about 150 pounds if possible.

Measures:-
125mm between rear lugs
425mm from centre of BB to centre of drop outs (chainstay length)
520mm from centre of drop outs to centre of seat tube (seatstay length)
370mm from centre of drop outs to brake mount
565mm top tube (centre to centre)
385mm fork length (570mm overall)
26.4mm seat post size
22.2mm stem size
Has braze-ons for rear derailleur, L&R gear cable (for bar mount gears), gear cable (on chainstay), cable guide on bottom bracket, rear brake cable guides on top tube
Rear drop outs are Campagnolo
