That Cinelli will skyrocket--you can count on it. (It's not all that light, by the way).
Is it really the best way to begin riding fixed? Probably not. I strongly suggest looking into the IRO group buy. You can build that up very, very nicely and for less than the price of the Cinelli frame alone. If not the IRO, then there are plenty of other fine choices.
And please, don't try brakeless right off the bat. Brakes on the street, brakeless on the track.

Look into Keirin frames. This guys https://keirinculture.com/ is out of Richmond VA and always has a nice stock of stuff. And if you ride a 53 you shouldnt have trouble finding a keirin frame that fits you...
