I reckon that is pretty cheap for workman quality.

I built a new back wheel for my il Pompino with an On-one double fixed. Retail $139 but the guy knocked a bit off: Open Road Cycles at Syndal.
What do you mean by workman quality?

The Velocity track hubs are Formulas, exactly the same as the ones IRO sell and they're all made in the same factory. The price I gave was from memory of what a person told me over the phone a while ago, hence the ~. Either way, you can buy the same hubs for US$60/pr plus say US$20-30 shipping if you order nothing else to make it worthwhile.

I've heard a lot of good things about Peter Moore, but unfortunately I'm not in Melbourne (Bris).

I didn't know about the On-one's, but then again, for the price IRO/Formula can't be beaten and I'm very happy with my pairs.
