Nice ride mitch. now throw some fenders on there and wrap it up in electrical tape and we can have a rainy commuter race! There is something about the lower end mass production track bikes that I like... nice versatile yet slightly agressive geometry and they are super solid yet not bad weight... Looking at your frame though I'm pretty happy that I went with the KHS flite 100; I like the traditional fork crown of the KHS and even though I'm not so hot on the threadless design, it is stiffer and easier than what I'd be dealing with with threaded. I also like the crazy fender mounts on the KHS despite what everone else says, and it came in a larger size than the fuji track. Its also the colour of heinz ketchup which has kind of been growing on me. I think its time to throw a rack on the back and maybe even put on a brake but I keep worrying I'll kill myself somehow as soon as I use it.
