this thread seems like a perfectly reasonable way of doing research into available options... I think a lot of you guys are reading too much into this/looking for an opportunity to argue

ah yes yes, very clever joke well done
annnnyways thanks again to those who given actual input and actually read what i said rather than just actually 'following' ;,, but it's cool it's all a bit of fun so no worries. And again if anyone has input on other frame makes i can look into do let me know as still not come across anything I'm super sure of just yet (I still like the Pelizzoli but understand the concerns raised so thanks for the feedback on that).

This is the ultimate fixie thread, not the dream build thread.

so let me get this straight.
youre totally new to fixed gear (maybe even bikes in general), and have no knowledge of anything outside of what seems like bikes that look cool featured on pedalroom and you want to blow thousands on a top of the line build? i love this forum.
if you dont know the difference between a record or an origin8, you wouldnt even be able to notice the difference between the two outside of a fancy paintjob.
id be less concerned about whether a $2000 frame is made of carbon or aluminum and more about what makes a "top of the line" bike "good" in the first place, then think about why you would need to spend the coin on said qualities.
TL,DR;
get the for3 and dosnoventa, take the one you like less and throw it into the trash on recycling day.
ps: french toast donuts.

Like hundreds of millions of other people who aren't overly knowledgeable and are not 'serious' bike enthusiasts, i have still rode bikes most of my life including a few RR/ fixed-gear and SS bikes. Let's be honest, we are talking about bicycles here. There's nothing wrong with wanting to spend money on a good quality bike if one is able and willing. The fact that I'm here asking rather than just buying some shinny thing from the first shop I walk into shows I am open to learn from people who have an actual useful opinion. Why would i want to start with crap and work my way up, that may work for you but not me. Nice bikes are not something reserved for the cycling elite or people who have spent years ''learning" what is good and why, get over it man.
For example in the automobile industry- If you walk into a Porsche showroom and select a car with PDK, the salesmen wouldn't say to you 'oh well if you have to ask then you don't need or deserve PDK, if you don't know what it is you wont even feel it, go start with a Hyundai or learn all about PDK before you can even consider it"...
Original question put simply was- 'is there any frame makes/ brands that anyone can recommend that i can look into.'
I am going to start commuting by bike in the fall. The commuting forum section has 38 pages, I am on pages 32, having read countless threads and posts, hoping to learn before asking any questions. Just one approach, and might be related to why you are getting razzed a bit. It is mostly in good fun, though.
Yeah for sure i understand your point
but at the same time I don't have much free time unfortunately so 32+ pages would be a stretch let alone scrolling through thousands of posts to 'maybe' find what I'm looking for. For me that time would be more productive for things work related, etc. Having said that I probably could have phased my original question slightly better as i understand it may be common that you get new guys ask similar questions, so I don't take the jibes hard but rather enjoy the banter and find it funny. I did do a bit of a search but didn't dig-out anything overly related- i.e. ' what others HQ frames can i consider that i may not know of'. Cheers
