Bikes: yes please.

white industries easily make the best freewheel. the best hub is speculative, but i would offer paul or phil wood to be some of the best hubs around.

assuming that you're already riding fixed and want to go single speed; couldn't you just thread a freewheel onto your fixed hub, add brakes, and be set?
