Fixed Gear bike suggestions

sam_commencal

On Friday on my commute I was hit by a car and fortunately I don't have any serious injuries. However my Kona Paddywagon looks to be a write off. I'd like to replace it with another fixie but I'm having trouble finding something I like. I already have an alloy Specialized Langster but it isn't as comfy as my Kona. I have a geared road and a cross bike so please don't suggest geared or hub gear alternatives because the attraction is riding fixed :-)
The main thing is that I commute 130 miles a week so I want it to be fast but comfy.

Must have:
Comfortable road geometry
Drop bars with brake hoods (not bull horns, flat or pista style)
Steel frame. Preferably some nice tubing.
High end components because I'm a snob and I want it to last.
Fixed gear
Carbon Fork

Nice to have:
Disc brakes?

My current favourites are either the Genesis Flyer (£600), Condor Pista (£1200) or 18 bikes Monsal - assuming they could do sliding dropouts (~£1500).

Disc brakes on fixed gear? What is your damage son?

Condor Pista is not ever so comfy geometry. You probably want to look at the tempo instead. (Great frame for sure).

As above, disc brakes on a fixed? Maybe up front.

How do you carry stuff on your commute? Do you want guards, rack mounts etc.?

In terms of budget, you have a fairly wide range there. If you want really nice high end components, you are probably best served building up from frameset only - certainly what I did with my tempo and put some tarty stuff on it.

Hey, thanks for your replies. I'll check the tempo out.

I'll scrap the disc brake idea. I can't find any disc/fixed gear hubs anyway.
I mount my bag on the seatpost. It's a bridge street cycles saddle bag.
I don't want rack mounts or mud guard mounts - I find I prefer the crud racer 2 plastic guards which don't use fixed mounts.

I have to ask, why not buy another Paddy Wagon?

If you want disks, then get something like this:

Then buy one of these:

Alternatively, there must be some kind of way to jam the freewheel and stop it freewheeling right?

Pearson 'Now You See Me' or, if money is no object, Condor Pista/Tempo.

That Pearson looks lovely!

I feel like a change from the Paddywagon. I think I'll scrap the disc brake idea too. Thanks for the suggestions so far! :-)
