bigvegan- I understand your curiosity totally. There's nothing in particular I want to "accomplish" other than doing something unique and fun. I will lace the wheel myself and I love working on bikes so it's no big deal. From what I hear, the wheels on that bike are pretty bad stock, and the hub I have is amazingly smooth and WAY better quality. I dont mind losing the option of going fixed gear as Im not likely to ever want to go that route, and Im only going to be riding this bike until I can afford a nicer SS(hopefully this summer).

PistaRider311- It is a 9 tooth driver off of a profile race cassette. It's not on a wheel right now so I am just going to lace it to the stock rim and run with it. I think it will look cool too. Different at the least!
