Good info guys. I only ask about speed because people ask on other forums if they need a "faster" bike for commuting and I am always wondering what that means exactly. I went fixed because there are no hills here and I know a good fixed rider can hit 30mph in this area and I intend to do the same. I also like the mechanical advantage I get back when I put in good effort.
Good points on chain stays..my current ratio is 39x19 I believe. I have some more parts coming for the bike, just a better seat and another wheel and then I will have pics up. I agree that the value is awesome, it is a quad butted steel frame and most of the track frames I was looking at for around $300 (price of the complete fuji was 200) are not the quality of that.
