    Am possibly looking at a factory build fixed wheel on cycle to work scheme, any suggestions?, been looking at the BOWERYS at CSS, any other factory built with/without drops and preferably with brakes.

    Kona Paddywagon
    Charge Plug
    Surly Steamroller
    Specialized Langster

    Would all be worth a look.

    The question was never "conclusively answered" :) but there is a big list in this thread on LFGSS.

    I have a Giant Bowery and Specialized Tricross myself. Both are good bikes but very different. The Bowery is a lot lighter/more nimble. The Tricross is a bit of a tank with a relaxed riding positon but has the option of full mudguards and rack and loads of clearance for wide tyres if you wanted to take it off-road. To be honest I got the Tricross to take over commuting duties from the Bowery but I find myself on the Bowery more.

    The Gold Bike Crystal Edition.

    The first €1,000 is tax free. Shame about the next €70,000.

    Just to confuse you even further i'll throw this into the fray as an option if you don't want to spend all of the available allowance.
    Available through your nearest halfords.

    Haha, my posts over there were limited to the purchase of a Brooks Team Pro for my Bowery but I do read it from time to time, there is an awful lot of shíte but good stuff too :D

    I really like the Specialized Langster but I've never ridden anything else to compare it to.
