1st step is to define budget. my ideal fixed gear would be a custom Ti bike from one of the reputable renowned builders, but that's a different story if a budget is in place - how much $ are you looking to spend?

It's ALL about the budget. Angry Scientist - I am riding a Desalvo Ti single speed and it is phenomenal! It's simply the best bike I have ever owned.
