The SE lager and the Fuji Stroll I think would be the best for my riding style. I don't have a car and I bike everywhere and use it for everything, so having the option to attach fenders and baskets would be great. Furthermore, I don't commute very far, probably less than 10k a day, but it would be nice to have something to putz about on during the weekends too.

The Feather looks like fun, and from what I can tell has the highest quality components, but realistically would not be a good fit for the type of riding I do.

Currently I am strongly in favor of the Fuji Stroll, since the frame is made from CrMo, it is more oriented towards commuting, and there is more support for it (lots of bikes shops sell Fuji, I have only found one that sells SE).

I would love to hear what you all have to say about these bikes, and if you have other suggestions for getting fixed gears in Japan, I would love to hear that too. I can find lots of track and racing bikes, but relatively few commuter oriented bikes and frames.

Thanks so much everyone
