IMO this is the important point. Most FG stuff that I come across is low-end junk that functions better as art than bike equipment, or is tough and heavy to withstand the urban riding environment (for e.g. messenger work), or is specifically intended for the velodrome where wind is not a factor.
The price seems entirely reasonable for what you are after; it's something fairly unique and custom. There are just not a lot of pure fixed gear road bikes that are not also used for urban riding tasks (where shaving grams is less of an option).
