Gearing a bit too high if you're new to fixed, you'll need to add a brake or two, not exactly light (heavier than the Lagster, probably lighter than the Plug), not ridden one but i'm assuming as it's built for the track it'll be more twitchy than the Plug or Langster, which may or may not be to your taste.
As it's your first fixed, go for something standard, tried and tested and then once you figure out what you want you can change it for something more suited to you. Or if you're lucky you might find the Langster/Plug/Track suits you perfectly.
