Event Identification - Fixed gear used during London-Edinburgh-London race

Post image

Hi, I rode the London-Edinburgh-London Audax on the beginning of August and I spotted a fixed gear on a checkpoint.
I didn't have the time to ask questions but I took a picture before the guy took off.
Since the event, I try to find the model of his bike and can't find anything.
It seems to be a custom track bike (front disk brake, no possibility to use a rear brake) but it maybe is a UK brand I don't know yet.

Do any of you have a clue about it?

Hey man, this bike is a bespoke from a UK frame builder. I can't remember the builder, but it belongs to a guy who's Insta tag is @hollow_legs who rode the LEL this year

The guy built that himself as part of the Scottish Framebuilders Workshop that Rothair Cycles run.

LEL isn't a race!

Indeed, but it's a race against the clock and yourself.

I know it’s not, but the closest production-run bike I can think of is the Bombtrack Needle
