Hey Scrod, that fyxation frame came in and my girl is stoked . The only issue is that I guess it was supposed to come with a seatpost binder and I couldn't find one in the box . It's not a big deal I just need to know the size that I need so that I can order one . Thanks man .

Aside from the stamped logo, the crank arms look just like the EighthInch 144bcd crank and I wouldn't be surprised it was the same.
I wouldn't buy anything from them solely based on this:

Would this be a good starter fixie on a budget to see if I like riding fixe's?
The bike has all new parts, not $$$ parts but never the less new...wheels, crank, chain, etc..
It has an old (Not Brooks) leather saddle?
The guy will put new drop bars on it for me
All I need to do is add brakes ($30)
I can buy it for $100
So I would have $130 into it.
Good starter at that price?

Any help would be great,

When measuring stack height for threaded headsets, can't I just measure the steer tube and the headtube, and calculate the difference? Seems a lot less fiddly than stacking up the headset parts when they're off the bike.

Yes. Or you could just measure how tall the headset is without taking anything apart.

Sorry to bug once again, one last quest Scrod.
I know the seatpost size is 27.2 on the 721, if im not mistaken.
Will the seatpost collar be the same or larger(since its wrapping around)?

Either 29.8 or 30.0 will work.
