Pista Concept/ Super Pista, Cinelli Vigorelli, Cinelli MASH, Rush Hour Pro Macaframa, Fuji Track Pro, Trek T1, I think GT makes or is making a Pulse again, Felt makes a couple... idk, there are lots in the 600-800 dollar price range. None of them look like a classic steel frame though and they dent easily... but they are stiff (to a fault) and fast.

I never understood why they charge such prices for the Bareknuckle when it's nothing special. It's mostly just hype about the whole "Made in Italy" up charge but there really is no benefit over this frame compared to anything else out there for half the price.

Have you considered the Motobecane Team Track? - https://www.bikesdirect.com/products/...team_track.htm
I do not own one, but I have heard good things about it, not to mention the parts are good for the price. Does anyone who owns one have a comment?

Cheers
