De bernardi. im a big supporter of that frame. and for less eai bareknuckle frame. alot of people get in a hurry to get a fixed ger bike and end up sacrificing craftmanship, quality and syle because they are impatient. my best advice is dont rush into buying something new. go to fixedgearfever.com and post a want ad. search ebay under cycling EVERYDAY for "track." ...check out the fisso fixed gear bike. it has a more relaxed geometry which may be good for you. search google for "skidstrong" it will pull up the fisso site.
