I'm looking for a ss/fixed gear bike under 500 bucks for commuting to work. I didn't find nice old bike frame my size that i can probably fix up on craigslist so I decided to look at local bike shop / sites.
I rode on a Masi Speciale Commuter (http://www.masibikes.com/tab4_subNav2.php), and it feels good and it's on sale for 499 at a bikeshop, another similar one that i rode at another bike shop is a Felt Brougham.

I also heard great things about IRO Cycle. Their mark v pre-build is priced at 400, with a front brake ,shipping and tax, i'm guess it's close to 500 as well.
Then, there are also the Windsor Timeline on bd website for 324 shipped. Do the components on the Masi/Iro/Felt justify for that extra money compared to a bd bike for commuting purposes?
What are you thoughts?
Thanks
