First Fixed gear/Single Speed

Alright going to a few local bike shops today in CT to buy/order a bike. After looking online at a bunch of bikes I end up liking bikes because of the way they look(call me shallow ). My friend just bought a Langster New York and I rode it and liked it so I am looking to join him riding around town. It will be my first road bike/fixed gear. I felt comfortable on his after a few minutes, but he has brakes of course.

I REALLY like the Felt TK2, but it is a track bike w/o brakes. Does anybody know if it has the holes in the frame already for brakes? I was also considering the Felt Curbside or Dispatch.

I was also looking at the Cannondale Capo as Cannondale seems to be a good brand and I like the stylings.

Last bike I was looking at was the Specialized Langster Las Vegas or London, but the more bikes I look at the more I feel these are gaudy.

I keep going back to that TK2 though! I don't ever plan to race, just ride around my town streets, but I am drawn to it. I absolutley love the way it looks! I will probably never use it to its full potential, but I just keep telling myself that i need it....not good for a $1,500 bike

Any suggestions to point me in the right direction?

Thanks!
