Got me a Fuji Track last week from all about the bike (free shipping), ordered tues night 7pm, came friday morning. Lovely machine, although anyone purchasing one may wish to alter the gearing as it is set up for the track, I've gone to 48 / 17 which I'm finding much better and still allows you to keep the chain the original length.
Coming from a mountain bikage background i'm still adjusting to the basic having to keep pedalling requirement ie. keep getting the occasional kick in the arse by my bike.
Oh yeah stuck a front brake on too, which took some doing seeing as my local Ev*ns and 2 LBS's didn't know wtf it was I was asking for, despite explaining it very slowly too them.
Only other thing is that the stock tyres/tubes only take 90 psi max ie, not quite 90 (this I found out after cranking 90 psi in to them, only for the rear tube to blow at 4am, didn't go down too well with the missis)
