I would get the Felt. Steamroller is basically a cleaned up road bike with track dropouts. I think if you're looking for a steamroller, you could easily have something very similar by getting a used road bike and making it into a fixedgear. That would save you money. On the other hand, there's not many other frames that could substitute for the Felt Track and be cheaper. Therefore, my recommendation. (i personally like riding tight geometry around town because it's slightly easier to react to traffic)
