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)

I got my madison from www.nashbar.com in Oct. '10 for $299, so $360 for a used '09 is a bit high... I love my madison, it's been a great bike so if you could get it for around $300 or less, I'd say go for it.
