Looking for a track bike for the kid

[DiRt DeViL]

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?

Don't know if you've seen this, but it summarizes junior sized track frames: http://www.juniorvelo.com/?p=148

Good luck,

P.S. ooops, I see you posted to that thread, guess you're already aware of it, maybe some other parent will benefit though......
