New frame - Thoughts?

I picked up a frame off Craigslist earlier today. It was my size, nearby, and fairly priced (I think). The information I have is:

Eightys, Motobecane Grand Sprint Frame, TA crank, Atom pedals, Campy headset, Weinmann front brake, Shimano front d, No dents horizontal drops with adjusters. Replacement chrome end Reynolds 531 fork.

I have pictures of the frame here: http://densspot-randoms.blogspot.com.

I'm new to cycling and know nothing about this bike, so any information would be helpful. Also, suggestions for my goals in doing a rebuild would be helpful. For example, is it meant to be a racer? My initial thought was to convert it into a fixed gear... is posting that here tantamount to sacrilege?

Thanks in advance for any help.
