The central location of our city is a big part of it -- as well as Olney's proximity to Interstate 70 and "the crossroads of America.' As far as Colnago's and cheap fixed gears in Wicker Park; look closer and I'm sure you'll find something inappropriate, like a $2k track frame with MTB handlebars and outdated "aerodynamic" wheels :) Yes.
