You be hard pressed to find a vintage single speed road bike, especially with two bottle mounts. They're all track bikes. A track frame won't ride similar. High end will cost more. Wabi fills a niche that I'm not seeing with anyone else.
Light higher end tubeset, 120mm spacing, road specific geometry, two bottle cage braze ons for people who actually go on long road rides and not just fly around city streets weaving in and out of traffic with tennis shoes, green chains, pink grips on the flat bars and no brakes. Who else is making that in a similar price range?
