Interesting. There is a shop just popped up here in Australia selling these; 'Just Ride It'. I can see that's how yours is also branded. Any further details? They are about $1,000 (£550) for a base-spec build here, but the let you chose all of the colours etc.
The wheels are 'Teny' for your information (I asked out of curiosity) and it appears their marketing team have an interesting online presence (searching a few cycling forums or googling it will show what I mean).
Thanks for posting it up. Let us know how it rides!

Cheers guys
Just ride it! Is correct.
They're on eBay and face book and have a larger presence in Melbourne apparently.
£500-600 is about right although I made a lower offer than that and had a deal. Nice chap delivered it for me. As it stands mine is a one off although I'm sure others will choose similar. Black and Orange looks good!
Weighs 10kg ish and seems well made.... Not much too it really I suppose.
Anyway I'll try and get out tonight
Oh it's 48/18 gear

Maiden voyage tonight.
Never ridden single speed since bmx 30 years ago so I guess some observations are relevant to that fact more than the bike.
Anyway seems smooth enough. You can tell the wheels are solid metal with the odd noise,clink,clank.
Also a rhythmic noise when pedalling that I seem to remember my old Raleigh chipper making in the 70's,hard to describe but maybe it's just the sound of a single sprocket on the hub?
Front ends quite low even though I've flipped the stem but it's ok and the bars can be tweaked aplenty.
Weird for me as a single speed newbie having no gears to utilise when descending but I was happy enough out of the saddle climbing with no slack in the power transfer..
I'll hopefully gave a longer go in the daylight at the weekend..
Incidentally I do have the dealers details if anyone wants them.
