Charge's description of the Scissor:
The Scissor frame and fork has been born from the demand for a tough fixed gear bike for the likes of team riders Super Ted and Tom La Marche to thrash around their respective city landscapes. The frame is constructed from butted Tange Prestige cromoly, is much lighter than the Plug and has a longer cockpit, steeper head angle, lower stand-over height and slightly higher BB.
The bike seems to be fitting Tom quite well. Here's a recent picture of Wonka and him hitting a gap last night.
Charge is distributed by BTI in the United States. The Scissor frameset should come in around $450 USD. Talk to your LBS for ordering. They're available in 2 sizes, Small and Medium.

I decided to click the link after I commented! haha but they don't recommend for use on any other 700c frames? well I wanted a bruiser fork for my plug anyways! ha!

is that a small size frame Tom has? the top tube and the down tube look awfully close to each other on the head tube, but I suppose it spins huge fat tires OK, which is lovely :-)

has anyone picked one of these up yet? do you know if the 700x49c tyre tom rides clears the downtube? i.e. barspins?
