^ The Singlespeed wheel does not have track hub and therefore has no reverse lock-ring thread, but has been used as fixed.
(The sprocket is firmly fixed onto the hub using the rotafix technique and a bottom bracket lockring is then fixed onto the hub): This is sometimes referred to as ghetto fixed
Between 1993 an 2006 I had this on all my fixed road bikes (but I did use a brake in those days cos I lived in Bath and it's quite hilly there).
I'm happy to sell the wheel with a lock ring and fixed sprocket but they won't be fitted since it's being sold as a SS wheel - hope that seems reasonable.
