Might be a fair bit of effort but you could pick up a rear trispoke and convert it to fixed with a surly fixxer? Would also give you an oppurtunity to play with the chainline. The usual issues of de-bonding it or unthreading it might not apply if youre only doing to use it for TTing (and not skidding I assume)

One of the olf Pro discs with SPNK adaptor?

Front end done!
The "middle" is a WIP: I haven't achieved gooch-nirvana with the Tritone, so I'm hoping to try an Aerocoach saddle if they haven't sold out by Friday (can you put in a word for me @umop3pisdn ) and I'll continue experimenting with short cranks (on the look out for more FC-740x to chop).
The back end is where I'm a bit stuck, ie the rear wheel.
I bagged some cheap Pacenti TL28 in the Planet X sale and got a BDW hub, intending to use it with a RALTech. But RT are out of action for the rest of the year and a "naked", 36h, shallow rim doesn't seem like it should be my first choice.
A "proper" disc is out of the question due to my 46mm chainline.
I've been using the Archetype-rimmed wheel off of my road bike, but I'm moving to Reading for three months and that will stay here (lending the road bike out).
Ideally I'd like a wide rim and am not desperately fussed about it being super-aero as long as it's no worse than a 32h, bladed spoke, Archetype pending RT getting up and running again.
Having said that, I've got regular work ATM so if there's an option on a par (both with regards to price and performance) with a RT skinned, 28mm rim then I could consider that too.
Time is an issue too: not only are we half way through the year already, but it would be much easier to have this sorted-out before I move, so a fortnight or so...
