Thanks for the reply, I'd only read recent threads, I hadn't done a search so that's where I'm off now.

Hi, my first post here, I discovered this forum whilst looking for a new commuter. I'm planning to give a fixie a go, I'm new to all this so I'm after something with a flip flop hub so I can start out with a freewheel. I'm mainly into mountain biking so I'm not too familiar with the road stuff. My current commuter is a 10 year old giant mtb with road tyres and it's pretty much on it's last legs.
I was fairly set on the Charge plug but after a bit of reading here I'm not so sure. I really like the look of the Fuji track. My budget is around £400 - £450 any opinions between these two bikes or any other suggestions? I'm not really interested in the bowery or langster, I've always preferred the more traditional looking steel frames, even on mtbs.
Sorry if this sort of question gets asked a lot, I have read the sticky and had a good browse over various threads.
Any advice much appreciated.
Cheers
Cheers for the replys.
My commute is fairly mixed, I do like to get stuck into the traffic though. I think the plug is still favourite, I get the impression that it will be a bit more user friendly to someone new to riding fixss? I commute all year round and I'm not sure how I'd cope with a bike like the fuji in winter conditions. Being used to mtbs I think the stocky plug could be good for me to start out. I like the look of the charge racer but I'm not sure about the drop bars, I'm quite into the look of the bull horns.
