Who makes white fixed frames besides IRO and Schwinn?
Looking for a white steel track/fixed frame. I see the IRO Rob Roy (hate the sloping top tube though) and the Schwinn Madison come in white.

Any others?

Windsor The Hour. I kinda like it. Fairly responsive, steel frame, AND you can do barspins with a 700c wheel.
Not sure how easy procuring just the frame would be though.

Sealed bearings are bad? What is preferred?

Loose bearings. I like to clean mine regularly for some reason. Call me weird if you'd like.

I also edited the bearings bit out since it didn't pertain to the frame. Although, you could probably buy The Hour complete cheaper than many higher quality frames.
