New Bike
I was doing some thinking tonight and now considering getting a new bike. I commute daily to work about 20+ miles round trip.
I would love either find something out out box ready or buy a frame and build up since i already have something to ride when building up.
my budget for frame only is around 300-450 max and complete bike 600-800 max. i mainly ride fixed. if anyone has any suggestions please let me know what you think.
Thanks!

I would recommend getting a Tribe messenger premium complete bike. Triple triangle full chromoly frame, carbon fork/alum steerer tube, and it comes with omniums for $779.

If you can get one that fits, bravo -- that's just insane though.

Raleigh Carlton is on sale at Nashbar for $375 complete. Can accommodate tires up to 32c and comes with a front rack. Not the best components, but fits the price range for the OP
