For Sale: Fuji Track 2008 61cm

I might be interested, but I'm new to this - just looking to buy my partner his first fixed gear commuter bike as a gift. He's about 6ft and doesn't commute far... Is this bike suitable? - since he hasn't ridden fixed gear before, should I start him on one with brakes?

Sorry to be a novice here.

If you are growing tired of your highly-insured partner, and want more space around the flat, set him free brakeless. Otherwise, buy him a nice, big, powerful one.

I'm not being stupid for the sake of it (well, slightly), but so many people go straight to brakeless and it's simply dangerous. I've been riding for a long time, and I still won't do it.
