Most shops don't make that much on the bike itself. The greatest markup is accessories and service. See what they will throw in with the purchase when you have your choices narrowed. Test ride lots of bikes. See if they offer fitting services for free or reduced cost. See how they assess your needs. Look for previous year's models and negotiate a lower price if you find something good.
