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.

$450

$1200

like the motobecanes and kestrels (obviously)
We've got two LBS's around - one carries Giant and Kona and one carries Specialized and Rocky Mountain. If I don't pick up this used steel frame I've been looking at on kijiji I think I'll end up on a specialized next year...maybe.

I've thought about bikesdirect, but I don't know enough about road bikes to buy one without sitting on it first, sadly.
