Does anybody make a super high end coaster brake rear hub? Just a single speed unit.

Have you seen this?

I've got a hangerless Raleigh Competition that I'm tempted to put one of those hubs on. You could have the clean brakeless fixie look while maintaining the ability to coast and stop.

Now that I've talked myself into buying one, I can't find one to buy. It doesn't appear that Kogswell is selling them anymore. Somebody on the SS/FG forum imported a case, but they sold out in a few days. I was looking at the Velosteel company a website. The hub is available in a cog/lockring version.
I don't think I'll be doing any skids since I plan to run tubulars.

No skids?!?!? That's half the point isn't it?
