If you are into fixies though, perhaps you could recommend some better manufacturers?

Unfortunately I can't really name any good manufacturers for finished fixies from experience. I had my fixie put together in Shanghai using a locally made frame and parts that I ordered separately online. In terms of critical components, my front brake is a shimano 105 and then I have dura-ace track hubs, a sugino 75 crank set and a brooks cambium saddle. Smooth like butter and is both tough and comfy to be on all day. I don't think you need to spend so much, but it is worth having an adequate front brake and then spending a little more money on hubs, crank set and maybe also saddle depending on how far your commute is or just how much time you want in the saddle.
