Titanium Track Fixed Gear Frame Builders
I need to find someone that'll make a Titanium Fixed Gear Track Frame that'll be able to use a belt drive. Anyone know a reliable and good frame builder that could do this?

Going to assume you are going to run this as a singlespeed since it's not recommended to run belt drive for fixed gear purposes.

All good suggestions above.
Where are you? Pick a builder you identify with that's close by.
But since you asked for a personal opinion, if I wanted a Ti fixed gear I'd go here https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-G...36251933091951
