Mike- I'm willing to bet there's not too many people here in town who just have one laying around that they're not using... especially since what you're looking for is so specific to fixed/singlespeed riding, and given that in the past year or so, many people have also been looking to jump on board with this type of riding and are probably using or planning to use the ones they have. Also, if someone did have one to sell, it probably wouldn't be so used that you'd be getting much of a deal as opposed to a new one. For instance, I just sold a complete fixed wheelset for $150 that I built up new a year ago... and you can find similar wheelsets new on eBay for around $200.

You might want to try a few of the local shops here in town; I know that Pedal Power and the Scheller's on Harrodsburg Rd. usually stock wheelsets with flip-flop Formula hubs (which are actually really nice, inexpensive hubs)... the rims are usually nice too (Mavic?). For a rear wheel only, that might be a better bet, because if you go online, like Ebay, you'd most likely see wheels selling as a set only.

just a suggestion... good luck!
