Well better tell all of the London based riders that hang out on the London fixed gear forums because I rarely see them have anything negative to say about their bikes for that price range.
That reasoning would pretty much exclude most popular companies, like: don't by any Cinelli Mash bikes because they're obnoxious hipsters and want a lot of money for their accessories. Same could be said for most of the popular brands...they usually make some of the best profit margins off parts/accessories.
