Fuji Track Classic vs. Felt Brougham

[keakster]

Looking for some advice, after a long winter of internet shopping and comparing I’ve come down to the Fuji Track Classic and the Felt Brougham for an everyday single speed commuter. The bikes seem to be a close match as far as I can tell. I have been able to have a look at both of them in store and at the moment I’m leaning toward the Fuji but am having a hard time deciding.

Does anyone have any experience with either? Thoughts on Fuji vs. Felt as a brand? Much difference in the quality of components?

All input is appreciated!

Can't really help on the bike side of things but good luck :-)
I'm in a similar position about deciding but keep thinking components can be upgraded, the frame can't.
But how do you find out which frame is best / lightest / strongest etc?

@keakster test ride them!

FWIW I had a Fuji Feather and it was a great bike which IMO I'd consider to be a more direct comparison to the Felt than the Fuji Track Classic.

I have been able to test ride the Fuji, but the shop with the Felt didn't have one built in my size. I checked out the Feather as well but preferred the 46/16 on the Track vs. the 44/16 on the Feather

Gearing can and should be changed to suit!
