How did you choose your frame?
Why did buying make more sense? Converting an old road bike will get you there cheaper and with better quality parts. My conversion gave me hand built wheels with good hubs, good tires, bullhorns, plus a new powder coat job for less than any off the shelf track bike. Plus when you build it yourself, you'll know the bike intimately and won't be afraid of tearing it down to get it running just perfect.
