I actually have a Takhion Super Sport - which is awesome, but it doesn't have the integrated fork either. My search continues...

Just found this one-

Does anyone know if there are any custom framebuilders that will replicate designs like this? I've been searching for a Takhion Aero nearly forever, with no avail.

For enough money you can have a space ship built... Expect to pay top dollar for one-off custom work. Take typical quality build expense and multiply it time two a couple times. You can buy parts to build a "normal" bike (lugs, fork crown, blades, etc) easily. Having custom machining/metalwork done is quite expensive, also factor in design time/expense.

Figure somewhere the price of a nice used car.

Hahaha, I figured as much. Though I did some searching and came across: http://www.fixedgearswitzerland.com/?p=6091, which seems to be custom (and geared, interestingly enough). Pic for good measure!

Different from the typical integration, but interesting nonetheless.
