I've spent the summer in the UK on a research fellowship and will be packing myself and my bike back to Austin, TX in the next week or so. The idea of not having to pack up my whole bike has me particularly susceptible to wanting to sell the frame, so my weakness could easily be your new shredder!
If you're not familiar with Black Mountain Cycles, they have a cult following in the US. Basically, this is a lighter, more spirited Cross Check with better paint (anti-rust coating as well) and clearance for seriously wide rubber (around 50mm+-). It's a seriously fun bike, and my favorite configuration of it has been as a SSCX bike. Would obviously work fixed as well. Here are some various shots of it built up:

I've attached the original geo file as well, which should help with sizing. I'm 6' 4", so its definitely for a tall guy. Looking for £350 for a quick sale, I can meet in London, Exeter, or Glasgow depending on timing, or drop it off at an LBS for shipping at your expense.
