IMO cycle manufacturers and retailers went for it last year, and pushed the boat out on a whole range of single-speeds and fixed bikes, and many of them flew off the shelves. So this year, they've upped the price as they have seen that the demand is definitely there.
I think Condor and Fixie.Inc will do well at the higher end of the OTP market, with SE Racing and the standard Giant Bowery selling well at the lower end. The Bowery range has expanded, and maybe they're testing the waters to see how much pricing affects sales.
I think even more manufacturers and retailers will provide for our tastes in 2010, as single-speed bikes are cheaper to make, and they are charging the same prices or more for them.
