I plan to use it for commuting, about 15 miles each way, flat terrain, country roads.

Cage bosses, drop bars, road geometry. That is all I am worried about.

I can't seem to find any mainstream fixed gears like the Feather, Steamroller, etc that have a road geometry.

I don't want to convert, too much guess work/parts matching. I am just looking for a complete bike read to go. <$1000
The Surly Steamroller does have road geometry...its a bit on the steepish side of road, but similar to many road frames. There are tons of other FG/SS frames with road geometry.

Check out the Soma Van Ness...http://somafab.com/vanness.html

Many of the bikes direct offerings are road oriented...http://www.bikesdirect.com/products/trackbikes.htm
