Don't waste your money on the BD bikes if you want to go dedicated track. I'm not saying they aren't good bikes or that steel isn't good enough. Personally, I have a Kilo TT and love it. But it just isn't the same as having specifically-designed track bike. When the difference is only a couple hundred dollars, I think that makes the decision easy (for me at least). The FTP is one of the nicest entry-level track bikes you can get and it is a great time to buy one now that they've revamped the body style.
theres no reason to pass on bikesdirect unless you are overly concerned about the brand. their available track options are more than enough until you reach a very competitive level. that said, there are better aluminum options at the moment. the true bikesdirect track bike is coming. the word is that it will be a fuji track pro clone with duraace cranks and hubs. it will undercut the price others of similar caliber, and i think it would be worth the wait if youre interested in something like that! i would shoot mike an email.
