Jeesh, ouch duppy looks like some nutso hunchback downhill fixie..
Thanks for all the advice, incredibly useful to know that I can't use the road stuff I was looking at... I love the idea of Open Pros, and will scour around to price up some hubs - I can't purchase yet, but will be in the next month so I want to get an idea of what I'm getting into. I doubt I'm going to be an abusive rider, yet.. I've never ridden fixed.. I do however want the option/peace of mind of being able to hop a curb here or there, or deal with an unexpected pothole without needing a true - my roadie back wheel suffers a lot under the extra commute weight/mistreatment I show it.
My Rob Roy frame will be here by Christmas at the latest I think, so plenty of time to get things straightened out.
Hate to ask questions that've probably been asked many times before... where do I shop for this stuff online? Point me to a reading thread if need be, I'm good with learning but the sticky threads don't seem to help me much here. I like browsing sites and drooling/dreaming
