I'm looking for something around that price, single speed, and to commute as well.thanks again
Rear facing track dropouts and fenders don't work. You can't remove the rear wheel without removing the fender first.

The only sensible way to use a rear fender with a single speed is to have forward facing rear horizontal or semi-horizontal dropouts and a gap between the forward section of the tire and fender.
