Buying the Sube for $2500 (all I would have to spend),selling the Escort to a riding bud for $500-550. Actually,I mis-typed the header,the Mono 9 was replaced a couple/few years ago with the d440 (which is my primary mtn bike),and is a mtn bike...I meant to say "Metro 9",it's under the commuter link from Redline's homepage,and yes in fact is a 1x9...but you're right,there is no 1x9's anywhere I'd mentioned,if you din;t know where to look,LOL!
