I wouldn't focus on going with a cheap fixie. Think rather of value for money. One of the best things about fixies is you can make all your key components higher end for relatively low cost as compared to more complicated bikes with more parts. Also, if it's your regular commuter, that adds up to a lot of time on that bike which you would be better off enjoying the experience of. You're more likely to stick to commuting if you enjoy the riding experience.
