They're in Australia I believe. Pretty new company. The owner posts on the MTBR.com single speed board sometimes. That's about all I know.

I know the owner and the stuff is solid. He is a very nice feller and knows the industry well. Nice frames (I am trying to get $$$ for a custom track job).

Greetings mah people!
'Tis I - the Grizzly Thylacine man guy type person...err.....the guy who runs the ship. 165-48:17 or 'The Missing Link' as we prefer to call him asked me to pop in and shout some obscenities from the pulpit, so here I am.
That nice smokey blue frame is the Thylacine 221. I actually have one left that's in desperate need of a new home. Email me if you're in the market - it's a 'Medium-Large' 18.3 ctr to top, 71/72, with 17" stays and a 23.5" top tube. Ex-Demo.
Yup, I do custom jobbies mostly. There may not be a fixie on the website but that doesnt mean I can't do ya one. On the contrary - I'd love to do a fixie or track frame....just as long as its not black or white. Okay, maybe pearl white, but that's as far as I go.
Anyway, this website looks massive, so looks like I might just have to add it to the list of 'Websites to hang around in and cause trouble'.

That is quite a nice looking frame. Unfortunately the only thing I can afford is 20 year old Raleighs to convert into fixies. By the way isn't a Thylacine the Tasmanian tiger that is thought to be extinct?

How about a black and white striped frame? 
I notice you do list you will do the frames with Sub-11 dropouts for track use at no extra cost. What are sub-11 dropouts?

Sub 11 dropouts are pretty much what everyone uses when it comes to doing horizontal dropouts. You can see them on the blue 221 at https://www.thylacinecycles.com/gallery
In the frames section I do believe.

Stay in school mah people!
Yeah, Sub11 dropouts are Surly...or Surly are Sub11. Sub11 came way before Surly ever existed, so that's why I call them Sub11, even though its hard to get them labelled as such these days. Unfortunately they're almost allways labeled 'Surly' these days.
Nothing some molten brass won't fix eh?

Actually, I had an idea for that. For anyone that isnt sure if they want to go singlespeed or fixed, what I can do is braze on some bidon mounts underneath the top tube, into which you can screw some swanky little custom cable guides. So if you want to run brakes, just screw in two or maybe 3 groovy little guides and mount your brakes. Want that clean Fixed look? Take them off and everyone will be none the wiser.
Cool huh!
