I am reluctantly coming to a similar conclusion. I might have to start cruising the FS section for a 56ish fixed/track frameset. Ebay seems a tad pricey and being in Northern Maine there's not a huge market for urban bikes up here.

Side Note: Fyxation support just got back to me via email. They're saying the issue is that the crank is designed for a 68mm BB shell. Is there a spindle difference between a 68x107 and a 73x107? I double checked the BB box. It's a Shimano BB-UN54 73x107. Unless, the BB is not what the box says. May need to pull the cranks and measure spindle length.

Here's a closeup of how the crank is sitting mounted.
