Need a Quick Recommendation! TT/Clockwork Plus/others around 300-400.

Hello. I'm looking for a solid entry-level singlespeed. I have read a lot of forums, and the consensus seems to be a TT, but I was wondering if the $320 Clockwork plus was a suitable choice as well for the price. Also, I don't know too much about geometry, but I'm looking for something a little more relaxed. Also, if anyone has any other recommendations, I would be more than grateful. Thank you for your help.

I gotta say I love my clockwork plus; that said I'm not sure its the best BD bike in that price range someone with more experience would have to answer that.

Also, despite what it says on BD the clockwork plus actually comes with a 26mm seat tube, a 110mm Stem with what looks like +/- 6 degrees, and mine came with both a 16t freewheel and a 16t fixed gear cog.

Wait, you have a clockwork plus, and you are thinking about getting a kilo TT?
