Lots of Japanese bikes from the 1970's/80's/90's are okay candidates for conversion. Problem being that with so many people flipping fixed conversions on Craigslist, finding older road bikes for reasonable prices these days is pretty tough.
If you're set on riding fixed for whatever reason (do you even know why?), sell both your current bikes and buy a BikesDirect fixed gear.
