If I may:
-The brake levers would look much better with matching hoods and silver levers.
-Those wheels. Are those powdercoated white or are my eyes playing tricks on me? Either way, silver box rims would be more in keeping with the overall style.
-No-name seatpost.
-Putting single-sided platform pedals on the bike without including clips and straps is just silly.
-I don't like lugged threadless stems, it's like the worst of both worlds. A regular quill stem would be much more theme-appropriate.
-135mm rear spacing? Come on.
-Rear brake cable routing looks messy without a braze-on to hold it down closer to the seatpost. Thank god the whole think comes right off.
-Overall, I wonder how much of the "Fixie Inc." are just polished/rebranded low-end components.
The bike looks good, at least at first, but the more I look at it the less I like it.

This isn't as pretty, but it's also expensive, and the name is just as ridiculous. It's made in the USA though!
