I use velo-orange hubs myself and the rear one is nice because it has a longer axle and comes with spacers to accommodate 120mm, 126mm or 130mm frames. The threading is also a tad wider so you can stick a 1mm spacer (also included) behind the sprocket to really dial in that chain line (I have a thread about this from back when I was doing it myself that you can look at for pictures and helpful advice from guys who are much more knowlegeble than me! Its called "Is this unsafe?")

These wheels seem pretty perfect for your build if you ask me! (Unless you want black... they only come in silver)

Looking forward to seing this finished build!
i do like those wheels, they look really nice. unfortunately they look to be sold out. also, i think i want a little deeper v. i'm gonna try to go for 38-50mm. i just like the look of them for some reason. i'll probably go with silver. bikesdirect has a set of track wheels for $69. i may just get those for now and upgrade later if they suck.
