Hi all. Thanks to bazookaboy (Chris) on STW putting me onto this place. Apparantly I qualify for London by squeezing onto the end of the Central Line (Epping Forest - Loughton)! :-)
Anyway spent all day trawling back through loads of great info on here. Looking to get a 700c fixie for the road, always been a MTBer and sole bike (bar my old '92 Clockwork) is a Chameleon SS as below - ridden it fixed off-road a few times but it's better free'...

Narrowed the choice down to a Fuji Track or Lemond Fillmore. I had a Surly 1x1 once but a build on the Steamroller is going to be silly £'s next to the Fuji which having checked stuff here looks an unbeatable deal, especially the 2008 model. Looks like it comes with better stem etc now - I am thinking eBay the wheels/tyres, chainset and BB and replace with slight up-spec, flip and chop the bars, bung on a Charge Spoon saddle and brown tape, and a Campag chainset as on my old Chameleon.
Does anyone know when the 2008 Tracks will be available and what price?
Are there any braze ons bar the obvious rear cable stops under the top tube?
And size wise at just under 5'9" with 31ish inseam (80cm) the 52 with a 54 tt looks ideal - what do others think?
