Could you help me find a good bike in my budget?

I have been riding a real old schwinn for some time now and I know I need to buy something decent. I am looking to spend somewhere around 700 dollars, but I can go somewhat higher if there is a good bike for a somewhat close price.

I have been considering a Surly steamroller or a specialized Langster chicago. I am somewhat interested in experimenting with them as fixed gears but I would use them primarily as single speeds. Is it a bad idea to buy a steamroller or langster just to use as a single speed? I use my bike to get around my town and for fun.

is it really important for me to add a back break to the steamroller if I use it as a singlespeed? Are there better bikes for similiar prices? I am not just interested in single speeds.
