What Don said.

Kogswell single-fixed framesets aren't track bikes or even path racers.

They're the result of sixty years of fixed gear road cycling shared between
the two designers, myself and a close friend and riding buddy; the guy who
actully got me interested in bikes and fixed gear cycling back in '69.

If they seem polished and smooth it's because spent a lot of years in
the saddle going over evey detail until it <was> polished.

And before I forget, if the original poster wants to get a nice 135mm
rear fixee hub, Tony (IRO) still has some of the original 135mm,
Kogswell-designed rear hubs in stock. They built with super fancy
hardware and they use the 'tight' bearing design, which renders them
very durable. We wanted them be tough enough to stand up to the
rigors of urban cycling and so for, no one is complaining.
