I'm tight on money and I got the impression that if I were to get an old decent condition road bike I would be able to convert it to a fixed gear on a tight budget.

Im trying to keep it to about $100 on this whole project. If I have to shell out an extra $20-$30 on top of the $100 for parts or what have you then so be it. Like I said I'm currently unemployed and really tight on funds. I would prefer an older bike still in riding condition that has not been converted yet. I No longer have a car and I need a bike if I am going to find a new job.
