How do i find out what Frame it is,
Frame is red, The front fork is red also. On the BB there is the CIOCC design, No serials on the BB
The lugs aren't too fancy.
To ID the frame, you should ask in Classic and Vintage:

Identifying bikes is common over there.
I wouldn't expect any help from them with regards to converting it to a fixed gear.
Conversions can be done cheaply, but those that are "done right" tend to cost more the the price of a decent new fixed gear.
This guy has already spent $1,000 and he still needs: stem, tires (x2), tubes (x2), cranks, bottom bracket, chain ring, rear cog, seat post, headset. I estimate that he'll spend $1,800 total. But that's on the very high end of conversions. It's not uncommon for a "nice" conversion (not cheap, not bling) to cost $700 or $800 when it's all said and done.
