Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Worth the price? 2008 Trek SOHO S.
Found a listing, a 2008 , 2 month old, Trek SOHO S 20". The owner works for Trek so he probably got a very good deal. It retails about $650 here in Canada. Offered $450... Could I do better?

If the frame has some kind of fancy tubing, and it fits, i'd go for it. Otherwise you're paying $250+shipping for something that is probably worse than a new bikesdirect bike

$5 garage sale bike *which is what that bike probably is* and throw a fixed wheel on it. end of story

if he works for trek he's probably going to make a profit if you buy it for 450
