Then at Interbike is has the less expensive (but still expensive) FFW wheels:
It's safe to say that it's a frame-only option, too.

If you guys had to choose between the Fuji Feather or the Fuji Classic Track based on track geometry for track use, which you guys choose?

And what size are you?
also, those both link to the feather.
edit:
heres the classic track: https://www.evanscycles.com/product_d...metry-data.pdf
The feather had a tighter wheelbase, and a steeper headtube angle. Passed that, everything is identical.

As Nagrom says, they seem to be pretty much identical. But, I would go with the Classic because it uses modern threadless stems. Threaded looks cool for that old-school look, but is technically inferior. Plus it's a pain to change out bars or find different sized stems.
If you are choosing between the two, go with the Classic.
But, for around $500, I'd keep my eye out for a used Aluminum bike. I know that's easier said than done. But, Aluminum would be an upgrade from steel being stiffer and lighter.
But, if cost in an issue, consider the Kilo TT Pro which has the same level of features (minus a rear brake) for about $100 less than the Fuji Classic: https://www.bikesdirect.com/products/...kilott_pro.htm

At $8500 for the frameset and bar, the 2013 Pinarello Maat Carbon surely isn't for the faint of heart...
