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)

As many as it will support. Go look it up in your Economics 101 textbook.

Demand does not equal need. Go back to the definitions in your book.

The market does not respond to need, only to demand.

You've never even taken the class, have you?

I'm clear on the concept but with the above quote I questions your grasp on the subject matter.

I thought last time this was discussed it was determined to be a different paint job on the Gary Fischer Triton (rims and bars are a bit different, too)

I guess if you really need one now, you could demand they start making them available. Economics, ya know.

Demand is a WANT backed up with money. And unless it is offered at mellow johnnys, it is not a '09 trek product.
