Ahh ok. The flange thing I keep seeing with the fixters must be more of a fashion statement then? I get having stiff wheels for the track, but those guys riding around town on "tarck" bikes? The funny thing is they all look like they weigh 140 lbs, and their huge legs simply make lesser flange hubs explode under their massive torque! HA! Ok enough bashing, after all, I do own a fixed gear myself.

Would I be able to order a set of mix and match wheels from one of these sites if I was to decide to have them built? Like Shimano 105 hubs, DT double butted spokes, brass nipples, Mavic A319 rims
