    Uoeno
    Well, actually I just wanted to compare the two.

    But well I'll use it for commuting on flat land. About 20-25km per day every day.

    Had another singlespeed beater that I built up on an old frame, but it got stolen. Now I am looking for something to replace it. Looking at off the rack since that is the fastest way to get a bike. And I need one now.

    Note the headline says Track 2.1. But I meant to compare Feather and the Classic track

    This has probably been up before, but with the new 2014 models rolling in there are new specs to consider.

    I am looking to buy a new single speed and am looking at the Fuji's.
    I am advised to take the feather since it is supposed to have better components however I really don't like all the shine it has. I like the Classic Track much better (if I slap on a riser bar).

    Would you help me compare the two bikes so I can see if it is a really bad choice to go for the Classic Track or if I should go for the feather.

    Thank you so much for taking the time :)

    Here are the specs

    How tall was the rider of the bike? I am a little concerned that it is a tad bit small.
    Is the posting to Europe?

    Chestwood. Okay, if you change your mind about the shipping maybe you will let me know.
    Cheers.

    Aches and pains - ok thanks. In case it's not sold. What's the rear spacing? And what's your height?
