where to find track hubs for straight pull spokes?

anybody know where you can find track hubs with straight pull spokes? preferably 20 hole.

only thing i've found is the mavic ellipse:


but haven't seen anywhere you can buy the hub by itself.

any suggestion guys?

thanks in advance.

I'm curious as to why you'd want to limit yourself like this?

why limit myself? i don't really feel like i'm limiting myself. once this wheelset is built i don't foresee myself needing or wanting to change it.

I don't get the requirement of a straight pull spoke comaptible hub.

the forte titan wheels come with straight pull spokes. the rear hub from the mavic ellipse would match perfectly with the rest of the set.
just curious what other options would be.

be easier(cheaper?)just to get the Mavic wheelset, or build a similiar J-spoke wheelset.
