I know this is an older post, but to anyone still looking for such a bike check out LocoCycles. They make a line of bikes called the FG Cruiser,part cruiser and part fixie. They're the first company i have ever seen to do so. My wife and I own a couple and they are super efficient and responsive because of their light weight design(27lbs). Heres their link …

Really cool cruiser with a fixed hub. I also don't get the seatpost and handlebar setup, what are my options?.

These two are mtb type setups. Trackish frame with mtb wheels. Something similar would be more practical for the huge curbs and massive potholes in my area.

One more question. Are there practical mods I could do to an actual track frame to make something like the ones above?. Any info or ideas you have is much appreciated. Thanks for reading the long post too
