I have one that's fast and practical. Wasn't cheap though !
Easy to do, get a good frame (via LBS) good kit, hand built wheels and you are off.

My best bike has a carbon frame, 105 bits and RS30 wheels. Worth £1300, weighs 9.3 kg.
My SS is a Dynatech 401 Ti frame, from 1992 or so. Shimano Tiagra wheels, Sora brakes, bits from the spares heap.
Weighs 9.3 kg. It's fast and bombproof, and I can win the pub sprint on it.
As FA says, decent frame, decent wheels and very little other kit, job's a good 'un.

PS it's a damn shame my Panniers weigh more than my bike. 
Just shaved 100g from my handle bars.... recent crash replacement - buggered up by the load of crap I carry in my panniers. 
or a good poo 
PS I am now a convert to commuting by fixed.... or indeed extended commutes. The flexibility and power training is great...

Ugliest Cinelli ever (I'm a Cinelli owner myself), they have a right knack for making ugly ass stuff every now and then, integralters for example.
Decent spec though on those bootleg things, they just look ridiculous.

Saw one of the new 2011 Fuji Track 2.0s in Evans today. Suddenly I like the look of modern track bikes!
Picture doesn't do it justice AT ALL.
Stop it........noooo....I do not need another bike
