Recommend me a track bike for winter?

Hi

As a roadie and MTBiker i want to get some serious training in over the winter, living near Manchester i have an ideal place to train and get some 'dry' miles in over the winter period. I've done a couple of tasters and enjoyed em no end.

I'm looking for a decent track bike that i could use through the winter and maybe do some track league stuff (if i'm fit enough). Is the bike of choice a Dolan or are there others to consider? Have seen a Planet X one but a bit pricey at £1099 but looks like a good bike to last me for a few years.

Any info appreciated

Cheers

You dont need to spend much money on your first track bike.

This fuji would be fine for what you want it for.

Use hire bikes until your sure you want to stick at it.
They are good enough to race on anyway.
The planet X is very good value for miney should you stick at it.
