Hi guys,
Not new to bicycles in general (I've been biking for 2.5 years) but recently I got much more into it when I got Continental's 5000 tires and noticed the difference in the experience.
Recently I've started commuting to work by bicycle (4km one way) and also enjoy biking on weekends as a way to exercise a bit and change my mood.
Getting more into it, I'd like to update my gear and I think fixed gear is what attracts me most for it's simplicity and the challenge part. Also, looking for a geometry which is better for speeding on the city roads (will not bike in nature).
My current bicycle is a super normal "Khodaabloom Rail disc", which is a Japanese cross bike (nothing fancy).
I've been looking into the second hand market here in Japan as making something custom is not something I'd like to spend a lot of money on for the moment (when I get better overall + more passionate why not).
The aesthetic I like is the Cinelli + Mash bolt.
But I would like to choose also based on performance, and would love your advice on the following models I selected, in terms of geometry etc.
In the attached pictures is a gan well pro, a brand I rarely see discussed here. What do you guys think for city usage and speed?
Then there is a Cinelli vigorelli (love the look) and a Makino (which again I'm not sure what is worth).
Sorry for the very beginner level question and hope I can get some guidance as I would love to enjoy a nice bike in the city!

The Gan Well Pro is the best of the ones posted.
I’ll say that if you’re trying to run brakes, please do not go with the Gan Well. It’s a very nice bike, but so are the others and I wouldn’t trust even someone I didn’t like with the p-clamped front brake.
