I'm looking to get this. I know the bicycle industry has 1000% markup and I'm looking for a deal

Call every dealer in town, and see what they'll do. I got both my Specialized's for 20% off, just by calling around.

Global Bikes has sales going on all the time, try them?

I'm about to that point. Arfcom always knows someone so I was hoping I'd get lucky.

I know a ton of people, and do group rides with Global all the time. However, I don't know anybody on the inside.

I bought my road bike from the douche bags at South Mountain Cycles, and they were pretty quick to knock 20% off, like it was nothing. So, there's at least that much room, to play around with.

I know someone on the "inside" at SMC. Waiting on him to get back to me with a price.

I'll never set foot in there again. Good luck, and definitely shop around.

Checkout the Diamondback bikes. Many local shops will assemble a bike you order online.

Thanks for your help everyone.

I ended up picking up a Specialized Carve Expert from Landis.

When you wanna go ride? I've got a Stumpjumper FSR that I could drag out of retirement!
