First I would like to thank everyone for replying to this thread. I know this section is not very active at all at the moment so every reply counts.
I have spoken to a friend of mine and he has a good hookup at a local shop. My discount is 20% off everything. They carry a lot of bicycle brands but not including Fuji and Felt.
Which narrows my search for a track bike down to...
Specialized Langster Pro
Giant Omnium
When comparing these two bikes, I notice they have the same crank, chains are probably about the same, both 1/8". The Langster's is gold, which is unique IMO. What about the wheels? The Omniums are 42mm and the Langsters are 34mm I believe. Is there a big difference here? Which has the better handlebars or are they about the same? Frame material?
Please take a look..

I've never had a Giant bike. Not sure on the Giant branded wheels. I know American Classic is reputable.
All this said.. in my opinion on which looks coolest: Langster Pro BLACK >> Giant Omnium (blue/white/black) >> Langster Pro Red/White
The only thing is that if I go for the black, it won't be available for at least a month, and I want to ride now. I suppose I can ride a rental for a month but is it really worth it?
Thanks again guys!
