yeah funny thing is, for as much money as people spend blinging out their fixies you can get a LIGHTER geared road bike haha.
and i dont know how much are open pros with ultegra hubs, like 150-200? eitherway im sure it is fairly simple to get a nice pair of wheels for a road bike for like 150 from performance (their titans) or a similar retailer. They're just more commercialized and therefore the supply is greater, it just annoying anyway.
