Any downsides to getting one as a commuter?
would there be a better option in the same price range?
Thanks.

what are you looking for in a bike?
Once you find that out, look for one that fits that then buy it.

Lots of Kilos floating around the city. Should hold up fine as a commuter. As far as other alternatives....Any of the other BikesDirect ss/fg bikes would work just as well. Some come with brakes, which could be helpful.

Would I need fenders and does it come with the ability to add a rear rack?

The fenders is up to you...but the Kilo TT can support a rear rack...snap on fenders can be an option....but must you have a fixed for a commuter?...the Mercier Galaxy is under 400$ has a great frame and comes with a rear rack....and can support tires much larger than the kilo...BTW...I own both of these bikes...and both are commuting bikes. It just depends on the day!
