You're gonna be out of luck
trying to find something like this. You might have to go custom or find a 650c wheel sized road frame and put a fixed/ss bike together yourself. The latter would be the easiest way to go. DeBernardi track frames are fine.

IRO?
Try www.irocycles.com - they don't show a 650c frame on the website but I bet they'd build you one.

Iro won't build a 650c frame. IRO frames are made at Maxway in Taiwan. The fuji sounds like a good idea though.

Hi Maggie,
43cm Fuji Track SE bike uses 650c (571mm wheels).
Available at Harris Cyclery (linked) or your LBS can order it. Harris sells it for $500 as-is. $600 w/ lever and front brake caliper and custom gearing. This bike is pretty common, so finding one shouldn't be a challenge.

It appears that Harris is closing out the '02 SE's for $299.

You'll have to go to Boston, though, since they don't sell Fuji's over the net.
