Lotus did make a track bike, but they're kinda a one-off oddball company anyhow.
You don't even need to look at motorsports companies. Colnago did a fixed gear bike some years ago. The steel frame was unbranded. The components were unbranded. It was a piece of over priced marketing ****e. That's when I turned to Hillbrick, an Aussie, hand crafted firm, which delivered a quality bike for less money.
