Cutting across 3 lanes to turn into the Granite Club was a little hairy. My commute now involves dodging cows, ox drawn, hundreds of dogs, roads with no apparent rules other than might is right, no street lights and the majority of vehicles don't use their lights. Never thought I would miss T.O. drivers.

Anyone know of a place to buy cheap fixed hubs? I am going to fix my Atlas Nucleus and don't want to spend alot on a year of riding a crap bike. And I won't coast either.
Nashbar has some reasonably cheep hubs, also I found these guys NYC Bikes (who also sell a lot of stuff on ebay.) If the Fixed thing works out, I'll probobly get one of their hubs and build me up a rear wheel.
