hi everyone,
I'm new, obvious i know. I have been racking my brain on where to start with my first fixed gear.

I started looking at a kilo tt stripper, then surly steamroller to a bianchi pista. The shop with the pista then recommended me the fuji feather, schwinn madison and specialized langster.

Primarily this is a weekender, mild commuter(20ish mile trips) I've ridden a 55cm bianchi pista and a 56 Fuji something of my friends and they felt pretty good aside from being a bit bigger than i like. I prefer a 53 or 54.

I was leaning towards a blue pista i found for about 650, but then i was recommended bikes that were even less cost wise and now a bit more confused.

I do want a complete with a good frame and good enough components to get me by for a bit if i do end up going with a bike around $600. Conversely if it does pan out to be a better to get something like a kilo tt i would have some immediate funds available for some upgrades.

anyway thanks in advance, hopefully this in over my head feeling will pass soon,
ryan
