-Are you looking for a bike that fits like your racer, or a more contrasting track like geometry?
-Steel or Aluminum?
-clean looking or full of braze ons?
Bikes like the steel genesis flyer and the alu spesh tricross, are basically fixed/SS road bikes. The Dawes and the Ridgeback could possibly be decribed as fixed audax bikes. These could be good if you want to maintain your usual riding position/style. The Bianchi and the Fuji track might be more of a different ride than your road bike(s), which might make them more appealing.
I'd go for the Flyer or the Ridgeback (if you want mudguards) personally (I like the carbon fork/steel frame combo). The Gary fisher looks good for the money too thougth (rear rack braze ons and GXP BB, nice), definitly worth a test ride.
Test ride your 3 or 4 favs and buy the one that rides/fits best.
