The redline has bolts for a bottle cage or other items to be bolted on. Nice.
New offerings from Felt. The TK3 is pretty nice looking for a real Track bike and comes in around the price of the T1 (which isn't out-of-reach). The Gridloc features the Sturmey-Archer 3spd Fixed Hub (which according to their blog does not have a real release date still). The Chrome thing is supposedly a Felt too, with the actual product release including chromed wheels also.
Felt has expanded it's "Fixie" line and offers a few more models as well.
Chris King is finally doing the hub-thang for the roadies. This is the Swift Road Racing Hubset. Target weight is 320g for the pair? Nice!
So, laugh with me at this one... Rock Racing has plans to release 3 bikes, one of which is Fixed Gear.
The Rock Racing RX-1 and X-2 editions are full-on racing bicycles while the 4815 – so named because of its 48 x 15 gear cluster – is an all-round bike inspired by the exploding urban “fixie” trend.
Says Ball, a former track racer, “Just as BMX’s transformed cycling, fixies are going to be the next big alternative sport. They are making cycling fashionable with a whole new urban crowd and Rock Racing is excited to help fuel this growing trend.”

I can't wait to see photos of these. If anyone finds them, post them up.
Here are some new ideas for providing chain tension to a single speed ride.
Ibis Cycles - They split the frame in two and allow the rear end to pivot on the seatstay connection. The chainstay joint has multiple positions to allow changing the position of the rear end. (not sure how solid this would be, seems like they are adding more areas that can result in stress failures)
Souldcraft bike at the Formula Brakes booth. What they did was place the dropouts with eccentric mounting bolts. So as you reposition the bolts, the dropouts can move. The aluminum washer has an eccentric boss on it, and the boss fits into a slot in the frame. As you rotate the washer, the dropout moves back and forth to tension the chain. Once it is in place, you tighten both bolts.
Another view of the TK3. Not too shabby. I'd ride it.

Kona's Major One single speed.

What the hell is this? It's called the Gravity Seat (I think).

Street Wrapz, YO! I gruess you install this like window-tint or similar. I could see doing a fork or accent with this, but I'm more or less over the color-coding thing. It's time we get bikes back to the dull, uncomfortable workhorses they should be.
My custom print would be bacon. See below. Just wait until I have a bacon-print fork.
Cyfac is a French company that has a good reputation for their custom-built road bikes. Compare their Standard Mega Piste currently offered to this shot. The tube joins look different along with the track ends (beyond the obvious paint differences).
Sillgey was showing off some color and their Bulloüs Design products. They have a bunch of colors and unique designs.
