New member new bike..?

ive been hovering around for a while now, looking for advice on a complete bike for a first timer. im interested in the fuji track, seems like a good first fixed. a post i read the other day said for roughly the same cash (maybe 400.00) i could ask someone lke the london fixed boys to build me one which would be better. is this correct? and does anyone have any examples of what they got going down this route ? post em up please . i did a search but coulnt get anything specifically around this price range .

This is how to to ask a question if you are a new member and don't want to get flamed. Well done Mr Status.
