Yer killin' me. Your post is exactly what I didn't want to ever read. A single speed bike makes absolutely no sense for me, living in the mountains and given the kind of on-road riding that I do. But as much as I love my decked-out Rambouillet, I thought I might enjoy riding something lighter and simpler just for the sake of it - extravagent or not. So I thought about getting a Simple One both before and after the close-out deal, but never quite jumped. (Having a kid in college makes spontaneous, irrational purchases difficult, even when you know it's the bargain of the century.) Sigh...
So I'm wondering: Why did they discontinue these in the first place? Anybody know? Even though I wasn't in a position to get one quite yet, it was the ONE current model that I actually covetted or "planned to eventually buy." Everything else just seems to functionally overlap too much with the Rambouillet that I alread have. I'm curious...
