My son needs of a track bike to race on, he's currently riding a 43cm Trek 1600 roadie on the track but the coach recomended a track bike for training and racing.

He asked me to convert his roadie into a fixie but the darn thing is new and I don't want to go thru the hassle of assembling/disassembling every time he rides road or track.

Fuji makes a track bike in 43cm for $500.00, are any other alternatives out there even in the used bike market? I have been searching the web and can't find anything other than the Fuji.

Any pointers?

Thanks for the link, unfortunately their smaller is 50 and I'm looking for a 43.

Sorry, overlooked the size part of your post. I'm not sure how old the info is, but according to JuniorVelo.com (http://www.juniorvelo.com/?p=148), Fuji is the only company making a 43cm track bike - unless you go custom.
