Here are my options - anything from BD http://www.bikesdirect.com/products/trackbikes.htm

or this site (not sure the quality of these bikes) http://www.republicbike.com/

Thank you

Have spoken w/people who've purchased the republic 'fixed' and are very disappointed. One guy 'tacoed' the front wheel in a short period of time. I'd stay away. The MB Mess seems to be the best for the money. Full brakeset. The Fantom CX Uno if you want 'high cadence'. If you go w/t a Kilo you can get a front brake rig from http://www.bikeisland.com for 35.00US. No shipping.
