Help me upgrade my hour.
 
Yeah It's a $270 frame, but I love it. I have been riding this thing for the past few months and it is great, only problem is the fact that I wrecked doing a suicide skid two days ago. Foot got caught in the front spokes of my bike and well let's leave it at that. I need a new front fork and a new wheelset, but while I'm at it my friend is going to get it powder coated burnt orange with gold flakes for free. I have a White 54 cm hour with all black stock components except for the now worthless front wheel and my specialized saddle.

Specs according to manufacturer for parts I'm looking for.
Fork rake for 54 cm: 40 mm
Fork steerer tube 1.125 inch
Headset: CH Sealed-Cage, Ball Bearing Threadless 1.125

Parts I'm ordering:
Eighthinch Fixed gear track lockring
Eightinch 16 tooth track cog
Eighthinch Tessa Wheelset (Machined) Black rim/lacing

FSA Orbit DL Headsets

Steerer Tube 1-1/8" Threadless

......you didnt exactly ask any questions in the post or reference the validity of the title of your post......do you need help or just want comments as to how your choice of components matches up to everybody? etc?

You could probably just have the wheel rebuilt and trued. Not really sure why you need a new wheelset unless you somehow wrecked the back one too.
