Funnily enough, the Fuji TRACK is actually a track bike. The main stay of loaners or renters at velodromes around the world.
It all comes down to your own personal preference and when you're splashing out on a luxioury good like a trendy 'fixie' you'll choose your ignorant gut feeling over any good advice anyone can give you. So choose and enjoy.
The reason I think the Fuji is good (and therefore parted with my cash) was because the "cheap and nasty" elements are all going to be replaced through general use anyway. So it's the frame I worry about. There are few things more infuriating to a cyclist than getting a 'decent' frame with 'decent' components only to be left replacing the 'decent' components with better ones on an ultimately average bike based on the 'decent' frame. Go for a good frame, get on your bike and upgrade it as you need to... kinda like the old days before 'builds'. hahaha
Peace
