Hubs
High flange cartrige bearing hubs. These snazzy hubs are available in front or rear, silver or black, 36 hole. The rears are 120mm spaced and include a 1/8" 16T cog and lockring. The cog is not that great so if you ride aggro (skids, etc) a high quality CNC'd cog is suggested. These are single-sided so they are threaded on one side only for a fixed cog and lockring. The extra unused threads on flip-flop hubs grate against my sensibilities. I like it clean, fixed all the way. The axles are hollow and are paired with nice track nuts.
Flange diameter 62mm
Rear flange to center 28mm
Front flange to center 33mm
Cranksets
"Real" track cranks with 1/8" 144BCD 46T CNC'd chainring. 165mm, square taper, 42mm chainline with 103mm BB. Available in satin silver or black, these are nice with a nice thick chainring and no ugly hokeyiness like the chainring mounted on the inside of the spiders or anything like that.

Headsets
1" JIS threaded headsets with nice rubber seals. These old-school headsets are available in chrome or black.

wheelsets
New School wheels, with strong 32mm deep section pinned-joint rims and 36 spokes laced 3-cross to our high flange hubs. Single-sided for fixed only. Includes 1/8" 16T cog and lockring. Replaceable cartridge bearings. Stainless 14g spokes with brass nipples. Non machined sidewalls for a clean look. No ridges, or protruding brake surfaces, these rims have a nice smooth elliptical profile. Clean and strong. I weigh 230lbs and I've ridden these for thousands of miles, and they are still running true. Brakes work fine. People have been using rim brakes on non-machined rims for over 100 years. Now in satin black or polished silver.
