my opinion is that to get a bike from Bricklanebikes, Jos, or Andy from fixedgearlondon would be a good idea if you're after something kinda vintage and personal.
If you want to just grab one angd go ,Langster was my choice because i liked the skulls, the carbon forks , compact geometry, lifetime warranty on the frame. It works perfectly on the street but i had to upgrade a bit, new wheels, brake lever, pedals. And it is quite a popular bike so you won't feel that unique when you see someone else riding one, but i spent some time choosing between Flyer,Pista,Fuji track and Langster (at the time padywagon and fillmore weren't availeble) and the Langster was the one that felt better riding to me and got the best feedback from shop assistants. But if i was to buy now i would get the Fillmore.
Off the peg bikes tho need upgrading so they end up being more expensive tha self/custom built.
Good wheels are a must if you wanna ride fixed so invest in a good pair!
