granted these are very similar bikes, but i don't think they are identical. the most obvious difference is the cranks. also, the fuji track has formula hubs with alex rims. the windsor has trackspec? hubs and drx2000? rims. while these might be the same, i question the logic of not listing the well recognized name brands for these parts. the last difference that i noticed (and this may not be a difference at all) is the tube material. windsor specifies their frames as 4130 while fuji calls theirs Fuji Elios 2 custom butted Cro-Moly. These materials may just be the same thing. Other parts on these bikes are either identical or cannot be differentiated from the respective webisites.

reminds me of a conversation i had with a guy out here that runs his own mobile bike shop. he told me that performance cycles is so big that they can special order bikes from major brands like fuji and others. these special order bikes, often referred to as "limited editions", have cheaper bottom brackets, hubs and other parts. most people can't tell a difference and think they are getting an amazing deal, but they are actually getting a slightly different and cheaper bike. i'm not 100% sure that this is true, but it sounds similar to what bikesdirect does....except they just put their own name on the bike. from what i can tell, the bike is very similar, but not identical. the price difference is something like $140, so it could be worth it. i'm not trying to criticize bikesdirect or anything. they offer great deals. however, if i was choosing a fixed gear, i would want to know that the rear hub, cog, lockring were solid. these are the most important parts on the bike in my opinion. the formula hub on the fuji seem preferable to me over the no name hub on the windsor. as for the cog and lockring, can't tell if they are different.

just my opinion....you guys are free to tell me how off base i am.
