I want to build my self a new fixed gear but can't decide between a Pake track frame, Iro Mark V or a SE Lager. Does anyone have one of these? Do you like it? Does anyone know of any other frames in this price range?
Never say no to a bad idea!

i don't think that the IRO or SE have as nice of tubing as the pake.
That's probably why it's
That's probably why it's more expensive.
another one to consider
I have the Scattante SSR and think it's great. If you're looking for something to bump around town on, I'd recommend considering it. If you want a true track frame to race, it may not be appropriate, because the angles are a little bit slack (more like a normal road bike).

may be worth a read. my advice in there stands.
I am looking to spend less
I am looking to spend less than $350 for a frame set.
The advice from me there
The advice from me there there is still the same regardless, because it's not specific to any particular frame or manufacturer or price range. See this comment in particular:

keep an eye on this page
Aren't all the frames 520
Aren't all the frames 520 steel (or equivalent) made in Taiwan?
