It's not the fuji track at all I just locked up next to one.
It looks nice though fender mounts and more uniquely rack ones. By far the best commuter fixie available and at an amazing price for something with the same crap as all the others plus eyelets, rack braze ons and ****ty brakes.

Sizing on it seems weird to me for the size rider he says can ride it. I would never ride a 59cm or even a 62 cm and I am 6'2". My girl is 5'1" and a 50cm is too big for her too.

Ya this will make a fine winter commuter. Am I crazy or is the frame exactly like the KHS 100 track??

Naa a I think a conversion will end up costing me more. A good wheelset alone will cost me what this whole bikes costs. For it's purpose I dont think I can beat the price. my friend had this bike and he really liked it.

Like the yellow, i'd swap out the handlebars for a straightbar and loose the rear brake. Make a good winter ride for sure. Those rack ends are fugly but dont bother me ttoo much
