You can find good deals on 2011 closeout bikes. In December I picked up a 2011 Kona Dr. Fine MSRP $1100 for $500. I just had a Trek Dealer order me a 2011 Trek Sawyer Mt Bike for 1/3 off. Found my wife a nice bike on CL. Just keep looking. With a little patience you will find a good bike.
That sounds like a great idea. I'm actually thinking I might wait till next winter though. My bike should be fine for the spring and summer and it gives me more time to save up for something better.
