If you want it to be cheap then I'd find an old second hand mountain bike with horizontal dropouts and convert it, would be very cheap if it had a screw on freewheel rear hub cos you could just redish and screw on a fixed cog. Other option would be to get something with enough meat around the dropout to file a bit of horizontal action and tension the chain. Personally I wouldn't go for a road frame because your choice of tyres will limit how much bumpy stuff you can ride and your much less likely to be able to fit V brakes, which I would also recommend.
