Get a stock-sized frame from a good builder, the right size for you, and put your money into a proper fitting after the fact.
Find a bike fitter with real credentials, usuallly a prostheticist or orthotist who fits pro riders, and spend your money there.
If you still want a custom-geometry frame, I recommend Warren Rice of Realm Cycles in Sisters, Oregon.

I got to disagree with you. All the OP needs is to hook up with a framebuilder who knows how to size a rider. The OP doesn't need to know glitch about geometry that's what the framebuilder is for. The OP just need to communicate his riding style to the builder. About Realmcycles: I wouldn't want to spend a grand on a builder who has only been doing it for three years. There isn't even a photo in his gallery with a track bike.
I recommend Circle A Cycles in Prov, RI. Chris one of the owners has been fabricating frames for at least 10 years:
