I have no idea about what your area is like as far as availability of local bike shops (LBS), shipping charges, or your budget.
I do know that bikesdirect.com is loaded w/brand new bikes (a model year or 2 old) for great prices.
size selections may be limited, and you dont get the direct support for maintenance but the pricing reflects that.
