Need help on what to upgrade on my fixed gear

I have around £150 which translates to about 230$ which I want to spend on my fixed gear bike, I want to get a part which I wont have to upgrade for a long time, my current bike is:

State black label frame
BLB af02 full carbon forks
deda dabar carbon bars
deda superleggero stem
sram s100 cranks
state bicycle saddle
state bicycle wheels
state seat post
taurus mtb pedals

What should i change on my bike? I was possibly thinking some sram omnium cranks?

Open to any suggestions, thanks!

You'll want to ask that here: Singlespeed & Fixed Gear

This section is for track racing and training. The single speed/fixed gear sub forum is for more general questions/discussions.

I've personally had no problems with my Omniums, although there are complaints of poor quality with the supplied bottom bracket.

What Jared said. If it's going to be a street/city bike, then the SSFG forum is the one you want to go to. If you're going to be racing this bike on the track then this is where to get the advice. So the question is, what are you intending to use the bike for?
