The are two strains of thought about single speed. One is they’re the cheapest way of getting a decent and reliable bike. The other is that with all the unnecessary bits removed they are now the purest form of cycling and should be celebrated and lavished.<\/p>\n
If you’re in the first camp then check out the last of the 2009 bikes still floating around at Goldcross. Despite what the moron staff told me weeks ago about there being none left, at least a half dozen floor stock of 2009 models suddenly appeared and you can now buy the Draft for under $400 (if you haggle…we got a price of $375) and the Draft Lite for about $275. That’s a seriously cheap piece of transport.<\/p>\n
