Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

A little lost

So I've been riding a fixed conversion that is too small for about a year and a half and wanted to switch over to a track frame that's my size. I'm 6'4" and have been having trouble finding a bike that is right for me. My friends say i should get some 60cm and up frame in steel. However I've read that the larger steel frames have alot of flex in them and i want something rigid. So now I've been looking at aluminum frames but i don't really know what to look for. I just need some guidance in the right direction on which frame size and a list of possible frames that would fit. My price range for the frame is $900 - $1000. Also this is kinda lame but my dream bike is the Cinelli Vigorelli and i know they only run up to 58cm but is there any way that i might fit on one of those?

my sizing on Competitive Cyclist:

Inseam: 35"
Trunk:27"
Arm:29"
Thigh:26"
Lower Leg:24"
Sternal Notch: 61"
Total Height: 74"

Seat tube range c-c: 57.6 - 58.1
Seat tube range c-t: 59.4 - 59.9
Top tube length: 59.8 - 60.2
Stem Length: 12.7 - 13.3
BB-Saddle Position: 80.3 - 82.3
Saddle-Handlebar: 60.3 - 60.9
Saddle Setback: 6.3 - 6.7


Sorry if this was already asked a thousand times before but i couldn't find the answer i was looking for.

Thanks

Vigorelli is 58 c-t, 57.5 top tube.

There are bigger frames out there to suit your needs.

The Specialized S-Works Langster goes up to 61cm. Still in your price range, but just in.
Don't some of the Pista Concept frames get into that range as well?
Some of these boys get big too.
