if you're desperate and just looking to get into riding fixed, then check out thrift shops, neighbor's garages, etc. for shoddy old road frames, as posted above, build your own rear wheel if you wanna learn a bit about bikes in the process, or rotafix, loctite, etc.
i highly recommend the first option.
otherwise, sack up and save your diddlies for an entry level track frame.
