To everyone else: I found a pretty decent deal on an '09 Fuji Track Comp and that's why I'm asking. I know it has a hole for a brake in the fork (at least it looks like that in this picture) which makes me think that it wasn't made entirely for the track and makes me wonder if it'd be decent for riding on the street/commuting. I live in NYC so the roads are pretty decent and I'm just wondering how I would fare. Not to sound like a trend follower, but obviously other ride around NYC and other big cities on track bikes, so it couldn't be that bad. Also, my commute isn't very long, but I'd ride it elsewhere to varying distances. Would I be better off with a Mark V? For some reason, I'm especially attracted to the Fuji over the IRO...
I have a Motobecane team track, which is quite similar to that Fuji. It is a fun bike that I ride to class/around town. It definitely makes my short rides feel more fun/more challenging. Anything longer than 20 miles at a go would probably start to get obnoxious.
