I'm in the DC Metro, and went to and called just about every bike store in VA and MD. Spokes had a steamroller and HTO had the Felt Dispatch and a Rock Mountain Boroughs, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to go with a Raleigh One Way, but would really like to ride it first. Spokes looked to see if they could order it, but it looks like Raleigh is out of the 08's. I'm trying to avoid buying in DC because of the 10% tax, and none of the dealers in DC have Raleigh anyway. So what are my options? I guess I could keep looking for a used one way, or maybe go with an IRO.

I just assumed there would be more stock of single speeds. One place I went to is a Cannondale dealer, I wanted to check out the Capo, and the guy working there didn't even know what it was.

How does the IRO Rob Roy compare to the One Way? I know it lacks fenders and comes with smaller tires, I also really like the color of the Raleigh. This sucks.
