Meh, haters gone hate. No biggie. I mash hard as Fk on this bike and I love it. You guys seem to be more into the classic retro Italian frame style, hipster long twirled mustache tight Capri jeans type of fixie scene huh? I ride to go fast and do it in my own style, never have received any hate only compliments. This is weird, even on all the tour de fat rides only props. Guess people outside of AZ are just stuck up like that. To each his own.
*I mean, it's totally your monstrosity of a bike too. Just not only or primarily that.

Is it just me or does that frame look extra small for someone 6'6"? I'm 6'2" and that looks like I'd be uncomfortable after a 20 miler.

I like the red paint, it's a nice finish. I think it would look better with polished/silver components, though. They would help offset the darkness of the red.

It's a 63cm frame, my steer tube is at 10.85",stock bar height is 9.5". On the weekends I sometimes do a 35-40mile ride on it. It's actually a comfortable ride. The only thing that get uncomfortable after 20 miles is my quadriceps and hamstrings in the upper leg, and sometimes the gastrocnemius and soleus in my calf, but at that point it's mind over matter, you push past the pain and keep on mashin 💪

Actually, you shouldn't just push through the pain. It shouldn't hurt to ride 20 miles unless you're just in very bad shape. Otherwise, you should adjust your fit, with professional help if needed. Your legs are telling you that something is the wrong size or in the wrong place between your bum and your pedals.
(except for the brake on the wrong wheel).

This thread is Heeee-Larrrrr-EEEE-Ussssssssssssss!
The bike does have some degree of appeal! In all its renditions.
Thank you one and all for spreading the smiles and the good cheer!
Keep 'em coming...
(I'm headed to the gym now, too, to admire at my amazing self in the floor to ceiling mirrors and make grunting noises with or without moving around heavy objects.)
