It seems like lots of people have trouble finding shops that stock Redlines. About a year ago I was in my local Redline dealer asking about a Monocog. They basically gave me a blank stare and said I would be better off getting something else. I got a similar response at another shop. Pretty stupid advice considering its the best low-cost singlespeed MTB out there (according to www.MTBR.com). At any rate, I gave up on that LBS and found a nearly new one on ebay.
