Both of those bikes you linked to are too small for you. That aside, I recently converted my 10 speed Peugeot into a fixed and it cost the following, for reference purposes:

Mavic CXP22 wheelset with Formula Sealed Bearing Hubs Silver ( Fixed-Free ) = $135
drivetrain = $60
DuraAce track cog = $15
DuraAce lockring = $8
WSD saddle = $35
2 Avocet tires and 2 presta valve tubes = $60
purple BMX chain = $12

So that's about $300 just in parts. If you don't have tools or any of the other misc. crap you need to do all this stuff, you're looking at another chunk of change.
what did you use for the drivetrain components? a bulletproof crank, shimano bb, and a rocket ring? or did you find used stuff?
