I'd like to find a nice, bedraggled old road bike, clean it up and convert it to a fixie to see if I like it. What's a good place to start (after here of course) and any other tips you can give me? I've been browsing Craigslist here in Minneapolis, but really all I've found are kids' 10 speed mountain bikes.

I've already perused this: http://sheldonbrown.com/singlespeed.html

Also where's a good place to get the parts for the conversion?

I'm really loving this...
