Really? An ebay search yielded nothing, and I don't see anyone selling anything here in NYC. I guess if I knew some hardcore track riders, but I don't.
I'll try and post in the marketplace forum.
I also found that Harris cyclery/sheldon brown sell a rear for about 100 bucks.

Harris Cyclery has the wheels w/ track hubs for $100 bucks. They're good. I have one. It rolls nicely.

A wheel's going to get me focused. Must...roll!

i think bens bikes or nycbikes has them on eBay occasionally as well...though I have never worked with either of those dealers. I can recommend Harris wholeheartedly. THey got the goods.

Huh. Okay. Well then I'll think about doing it. Maybe I just need to take all these stuck parts into a shop and have them take care of that for me. I just don't have good leverage in my tiny apt (no bench vise er nuthin'.)
Did you completely re-build, or respace/redish?
