Ive been on craigslist as well and there are a lot of bike shops advertising so I never know which ones are legit or not !
I rode for about 2 years on a cheap fixed conversion before I actually built a bike from the ground up. I say get a good enough conversion, swap the parts as you learn what you need out of your bike. If this is your first bike then anything will work, also if this is your first fixed I'd suggest a helmet or at least a brake set up.
