Not really, the spring rush just ended, but suspect many LBS did not over extend themselves with inventory and the second orders should be arriving in the next 30 days is my guess, but certain popular models will be in short supply as production has ended and 09 models from manufacturers will be prepped for orders.I understand in Chicago there is a shop specializing in used/reconditioned bikes. I have read about them when I work in the area and thought read abut them here as well. They actually may have better previously owned assortment than LBS types would.
Best of luck...
