My fixed gear project ended up costing about $1k. I even did my best to skimp where i could (like getting a shimano 105 front brake for like $12). Except on the wheels... And the pedals... Those cost me about $300 and $120 respectively... And the tires... Krylion Carbons aren't exactly cheap.
IRO flip-flop hubs are rebadged Formula hubs and are reputed to be one of the best values out there (Harris Cyclery flip-flop hubs are also rebadged Formulas).
