Any good quality frame made of average tubing should be around £300. The only variance should be where it is made. If Bob Jackson can make a frame in the UK for £350 then a frame of the same quality can be made anywhere in the world for the same price as the UK has high labour rates.
Anyone charging over than needs to be able to justify it some how and I can't see why the Fixie Inc frames are priced as high as they are. Is there a more complex build process, are they using more expensive tubing or do they just have inefficiences from being smaller scale?
