There doesn't seem to be lots of choice. I'm looking for a good fixie that can takes 28 tyres plus guards with proper mounts and can take a rack and is fairly light 9ish kg
Apart from condor which is spends, I'd there anything else that might fit the bill.

You can't go wrong with the Tempo and it is worth every penny.
But, Pearson are well worth looking at - I think both their fixed framesets (they do one in steel and one in aluminium) will take big tyres, guards and a rack from memory.0 -
Genesis Flyer? Can take a 28 tyre. I've got one, only ever use Single Speed. Good fun bike. Mines a workhorse, used for commuting and occasional weekend rides.0

Does the flyer take 28s with guards? Read some stuff that indicates not?0

Ah sorry, missed the guards bit. I don't use full guards on mine, just an ass saver.0

Ok, so was in London today and popped in for a nosey around the condor showroom, just see the tempo in the flesh.
They played a mean trick on me by having a tempo in what turned out to be the right size for me, despite looking too big to start with with a very sizeable discount right in front of me.
15 mins later and I'm handing over my bank card!
Collect in on Friday :-)0 -
Cool!
What colour?
It is a great frameset. I've only done about 8-9000km on it so far, but it really is so much better than my old On One Pompino.
I am sure you will love it. Enjoy!0 -
Slate gray with white finishing kit, including handbuilt wheels. Its on the google image page :-)0

I am considering one from Mango as I can get it specced to my colours...0

Very nice - looks really classy in the grey.
Orange for me, to match the orange Fratello!0 -
Id have preferred a brighter colour, but as it was £300 off I decided I like the grey!0
