I'm fairly new to the scene but over the past 9 months I've fallen in love with riding a fixed gear bicycle. I was gifted a bike that was built on a 51cm Pake Rum Runner frame. I rode it daily for my work commute in San Francisco until it was stolen just few weeks ago after someone broke into my apartment.

So I'm currently in the process of replacing this bike with something greater then or equal to my previous ride. Being that I'm so new to fixed gear cycling and bicycle/component geometry in general I would greatly appreciate it if someone could provide recommendations for replacement bicycles/frames in the same price range or maybe even the next step above. As you would assume, while hunting for replacements I quickly became overwhelmed with the amount of trendy SS/FG online builders out there - it's really difficult to tell what's **** and what compares to my bike that was stolen.

I really enjoyed riding my Pake and would love to create that exact feeling again. Thanks!

If it helps, here's the best photo of the bike I mention above:
