Tokyo Fixed S1

I found the new about the new Tokyo Fixed frames on Hypebeast.
They got two new frames, the S1 and the S2, but I like the S1 the most.
This is what Tokyo Fixed says about the frame set:
S1

Inspired by Japanese Keirin frames and named after one of the top racing classes on the Keirin circuit, the S1 is our high end, built for speed track model. It's light and tight with clearances for the rider who knows what they're doing and knows what they want, on or off the track. For the S1's hand brazed construction, we selected the lightest tubing set in the Columbus stable, Columbus Spirit. This lightweight tubing is coupled with Kaisei aero style bladed forks, as used by great Japanese frame builders such as 3Rensho and Kalavinka. These fork blades are massive, taking all the power you can produce whilst absorbing shock from the road, if only carbon forks could do this. Pulling all our knowledge and experience with Japanese track frames, we have considered every detail of the S1 frame and we are blown over by the results. This bike will bring nothing but smiles to your face as you sprint past the competition under the supreme power of steel.
