I didn't have a specific wheelset in mind. That would have been a good follow up question. I do remember a bike mechanic mentioning to me that Surly made a from that worked with quick release wheels, but I can't remember which model he mentioned.

I can't think of any fixed gear wheelsets with quick releases. Which were you looking at?
