I would DEFINITELY go for the Lager. First of all, its like 5 pounds lighter. The rear hub on the Lager also has sealed bearings, which if you're riding anywhere but the track is extremely important; on the road you'd probably last 3-6 months before needing a new rear wheel (this is a lesson I personally learned :P ) and getting a rear wheel built can be up to $200, if not more if you wanted, already a $450 bike becomes $650. Except they probably skip on the bottom bracket, which is not a super big deal if you're riding freewheel but if you're riding fixed you'll destroy it in a matter of months so you can add another $50 plus labor to get a new one put in.

However, if you're only riding on weekends and only in nice weather AND if you ride freewheel the Draft Lite right out of the shop could last you forever.

I almst bought a beautiful white Lager last year but went with my Flite 100 instead.
