If you want quality you just gotta build yourself, most shops have accounts with vendors who sell frames or companies that make frames or could get set up with them and you can build a pretty quality bike after that. We have done this a bunch but one that I recall in the fixed gear category was a nice Cinelli aluminum frame that we kitted out with Dura Ace 7600 Track and some other nice stuff I want to say we did Zipp Vuka Alumina Basebars because I love those and helped him get it set up. Certainly he had a bling set up but you can still make something nice for a bit less.
