HEY you're in CT! I'm in Bpt! Anyway, I went and bought a frame with the intention of making an FG out of it way before I knew ANYTHING about fixed gear building. Overall I got away with it because I was doing a conversion and I used many of the parts that came with the bike; brake, front wheel, crank, stack bolts, tires, etc. I only ended up spending about 200$ total for a complete bike (and having a stockpile of mediocre components). But if I were to do it again I would buy a complete bike, It would just be simpler (in your case probably cheaper) and you'd be on the road enjoying the ride a lot sooner.
