That's how mine is that I just got this December. Any other way to tell what year model it is? Does the 2010 model only come as free spinning without the flip fixie option?

I'm *still* in love with this thing - for more than a year! And I'm amazed that still new comments come in for this review. Impressive bike - or impressive website? Since in Kiel there's rainy weather all the time I got detachable fenders, works perfectly for me. I will shorten the handlebar with a saw right now, since I have to put it in the hallway. By the way: I see more and more singlesspeeds in Germany - even in this little... I guess the expression is "one-horse town". See above, at 27.

I live in the Arts District of Los Angeles and ride downtown every day, to grab coffee and take in the city. I purposely bought this bike because it did not look like a fixie. I am not in that crowd, nor do I want to be. I have nothing against them, just not my scene. I had a really bad motorcycle accident and have made commuting around town part of my rehab from my injuries. The bike has been great. Some of the components suck (pedals for sure), but will upgrade those along with bars. I think what really counts is riding every day. People will talk all kinds of crap, but ride for you, and ride what makes ya happy. Peace. I just bought one of these bikes and like it quite a bit.

I've just bought a Trek Soho S. What a light bike ! It's a pleasure to ride: fast, agile. And the look is great. I'm happy to discover singlespeed on such a bike. Hi there !

Functional difference? Yes. PRACTICAL difference? Hardly. Discs excel in sloppy conditions (mud, excessive rain, etc.) but certainly aren't crucial for a good commuter bike. Rim brakes are just fine for the overwhelming number of commuting applications. JT, other models of the Soho came with disc brakes in 2008, but to the best of my knowledge, the Soho S never did.

Before I buy one, should I care? Should I try to hunt down a 2009 or not worry about it? Is there a functional difference? I'll be commuting 15 miles each way to work. Thanks.
