i just picked up the 2010 model from the local trek store, my first single speed bike - last poster is right, the pedals are lame (plastic body), ill be replacing those in the next couple days - handlebars/grips are uncomfortable and too wide, i flipped them for the time being to get a little drop, i have some ritchey drops and a stem which i will be installing. the cog is freewheel, no flip flop, but pretty easy to add a fixed cog to the other side (i live above my LBS, ftw)... other than that i like the bike a lot, its solid, light and fast, murder matte black - exactly what i wanted to start my journey into SS and soon to be fixed gear cycling.
