So what's the benefits of each model? The Feather and Track Classic are made of 4130 cromoly steel making them lighter than the Declaration's frame which uses high tensil (hi-ten) steel good enough for kid bikes. Almost bomb proof if I'm not mistaken. Feather being expensive has the best looking pedals by far (alloy instead of plastic). The Feather and Declaration both come with flip flop hubs for versatility if you're into flipping wheels. Track Classic comes only with a fixed cog but I'm a full time fixed rider and the lack of free wheel and cog makes it lighter for me. Maybe the objective of Declaration is fixed gear free style (FGFS) because it comes with thicker tires (28mm) and made of the very strong hi-ten steel. Feather is by far the classiest in terms of stems. It comes with a quill stem instead of the more common stem + steerer.

First thing to note is the frame material, i.e. Elios 1 and Elios 2. These are two types of custom steel. Elios 1 is a "straight-gauge steel tubing, made with high-grade, high-tensile steel. This frame material offers a superior strength-to-weight ratio for bikes that are built to last." Elios 2 is a "certified CrMo (chromium molybdenum) blend that is cold-drawn and custom-butted. Two wall thicknesses provide strength in high-stress areas and allow for decreased weight in other parts of the frame."
A customer at the bike shop I work at brought in his Fuji Track Classic. The red decal on the top tube is really noticeable. The bottom tube actually comes with eyelets for a water bottle cage. Although the rear hub comes with a single cog, the other side of the hub is threaded. This implies one can attach a free wheel and Fuji just didn't bother with "flip-flop" hub to keep the cost down.
