A lot of people seem to be happily riding around on the Suzue basic hub. You'll get all kinds of opinions on which hub to buy. Wish we could all justify a set of Phil's...
Maybe you won't even like riding with a fixed gear.
I think there's a few threads on here about stripping hubs and the joys of cheap cogs as well.
The wheelset is probably one of those things that you'll depend on the most, especially for a commuter.
Anyway, you get what you pay for.
