    Suzue basic rear flip flop hub laced to a Velocity Twin Hollow 27inch
    rim-

    NEW wheel, DT 14/15 spokes, $125+ shipping.

  3. You should be able to get a wheel like that for almost nothing.

    Check out a scrap metal yard, or even your LBS.

    Unscrew the freewheel, clean ALL the oil or grease of the threads on
    the hub, apply some Loctite, then screw a fixed gear on.

    This is certainly not the PERFECT way to do it but it will enable you
    to experience the joy of a fixie.

    Then you can buy a good quality wheel, as
    Qui si parla Campagnolo suggested.

    Lewis.
