airus - I'm definitely interested, although £500 sounds cheap. Are you sure they're high quality? I'd be willing to pay £750 for a frameset like those in your pictures.
Just ignore the bad attitude from other forum members on this thread. All of them are rubbish at riding, and only got into fixed gear bikes during the last year or two.

''Mr Darcy, may I interject? I have a habit of sounding ...elitist? When, I am only trying to report faithfully upon the subject in question.''
''Of course Ms Bennett'' added Darcy protectively.
''The chrome on the lugs seems to be of the amorous small horse variety (ie fucking pony). I must add that if you can see the polishing marks in chrome, it means that overall the production has been cheap, cheap, cheap...''
''Yes, Ms Bennett...'' continued Darcy carefully, aware of mocking her contrafibularities, ''not enough time or effort was spent polishing the components between each layer of production..ie the steel, the copper, and the chrome. The chrome should look like crisp cold liquid, it should look as though it was applied by Mercury himself, its finish be perfectly smooth, though not to bulbous at the edges (which would also imply a hasty polishing) Even in this poor detail it is easy to see...''
Ms. Bennett agreed with Darcy further, hesitantly looking with pang of guilt toward the tired metal worker...''Oh, I'm sorry, sir. I'm anispeptic, phrasmotic, even comspunctious to have caused you such pericombobulation....'' though paried with effort, ''as an aside, the lugs themselves look heavy and ill worked, as though a man with a file (though with little talent and poor eye sight, she added) has been locked in a room and asked to find something new to copy then sell...after all, it isn't about the specific operation of the parts in question, however, more so the intention and skill with which they were made. If one has to be assured of somethings quality, and cannot see it for ones self, then one should avoid the haberdashers altogether and send the Seamstress.
Quality of manufacture has little to do with fixed gear cycling, moreover so the components used within each project...a cheap suit is still a cheap suit...which ever buttons you may apply to the exterior.

Well, I take that the interest in none existent. I will order one set for myself with my own geometry this September, so if anyone is interested in knowing more about the supplier and my personal experience in dealing with him etc etc just send me a pm. I will now, close this thread seem that there is so much discontent with the purpose here pursued. sorry if anyone felt rather mislead or scanned. that was not what was on my mind.

No problem. due to this fear within the community I will visit the installations and then get pictures posted in one of the other forums (which should I post by the way?).
I am skeptical as anyone else when it comes to the land of mass production. but I can not help but wonder what Chinese hand made bikes would look like. Is not like Chinese bikes should be crap after all:
