Upgrade to a new frame
I have been using a fuji sport 10 speed frame for a year or so now and been looking for a new fixed bike frame to upgrade to. Has anyone heard of a frame that is steel, double butted, has eyelets for a rear rack, All-City style chain tensioner, a groove for the wheel like in a leader 722 heritage, and dropout plates?

Steel bikes are almost always round tubes, so no need for the cut out. Any of the few steel bikes that are more "aero" tube in design will not be double butted. Chain tensioners are pretty much useless on any modern bike. And aluminum frames have steel plates on their dropouts, because Al gets chewed up by track nuts. No need if your dropouts are steel.

Basically what you're looking for is something that doesn't exist because it doesn't make sense. You'll have to be able to compromise on some of these things, so think about what you really need/want and go from there.
edit- Dang, beaten to the punch.
