BGT, if I may offer my advice:

Get a fixed/fixed rear hub from IRO. They're Clyde strong (I've put almost 700 miles on mine this year) and with a fixed/fixed setup you have the option to run

1) 2x fixed cogs
2) 1 fixed, 1 freewheel
3) 2x freewheels

My only other suggestion is please, for the love of Merckx, please don't tarck it all out with neon Deep V's, a matching chain, and chopped risers with Oury grips.
