Hello all, long time lurker, first time poster.

I've been researching this subject for a while, searching here and there, and haven't been able to find a simple, solid answer to this question: What's the best entry level fixed gear I can get for about $500? Now, I know there isn't just one answer, but I'm hoping to get some sort of guidance here, because at this point, I'm fairly lost as to what to purchase.

Ideally, I would like a complete bike, that has good looks [preferably logo-less, or close to that] and has somewhat decent components. I'm not afraid to upgrade parts, but I'd rather not do a full build.

I've been very interested in the Felt Brougham, but have gotten some discouraging comments on that bike as of late. The Bianchi Pista isn't my style; too flashy and too popular. I know the Kilo is very popular, and I don't specifically dislike it, just wondering if there are any better alternatives.
