Only spend major money when you know exactly what you want.
Wait until your brain or heart tells you. Your brain will tell you that they don't function any better than a frame that costs much much less. Your heart will tell you what you desire. If neither one of them is speaking up, then save your money.

If you have to ask us which high-end street fixed gear to get, then you don't need either one of them.

If you're ready to spend Pina/Colnago money on something that won't see a velodrome, then might as well get something custom-built that'll suit your needs. I suggest something powedercoated in Escalade pearl with a Ruff Ryders headbadge.

Plusses for the Pinarello:
Horizontal top tube
Minuses for the Pinarello:
What's up with the rise on the stem?
no pedals
ergo bars?
Plusses for Colnago:
Sexy Italian paint job
nice brake levers
Minuses for Colnago:
sloping top tube

I'd eat my hat if whatever bike he buys actually makes it to a velodrome.
Also, these are not good race bikes.

I would spend my money elsewhere; the two brands you mentioned mainly focus on their road offerings while neglecting their track models considering the vast majority of their revenue comes from road sales and the needs of the buyers of these kinds of bikes are fairly cliched and predictable.

i just mention mash because it's columbus airplane and sloping tt. it's probably just as nice of a race bike as these two.
but... street fixies aren't even cool anymore. is that why people are buying oldmanbikes?
i thought the idea of fast bikes on the street was to actually get a real race bike? i guess i would rather someone get these than a real race bike. if everyone rides around on a real race bike like an ftp i'd have to pretend my ftp was something completely different and respray it some ridiculous paint scheme.
