Hello! My LBS is offering me a Litespeed Tuscany frame with a Litespeed carbon fork for $2099 canadian dollars, which normally sells for $2499. Is this a good deal?
Cheers!

$1199.00 without fork by the coloradocyclist. What do you think?

more imporantly is it in your size? close out bikes usually sell for great prices, but you won't be happy unless it fits you very well....
Seems to be the average price after the exchange rate. It's the perfect size for me but I'm not as excited about it now that it doesnt seem like a great deal! It seems like a great frame, am I right? Are there any downsides to this frame?
Cheers!

One down side - you are not excited about it.
Thats a big down side!

It sounds like a decent deal to me, but as usual mail-order is cheaper.
$2099ca = $1320us
The frame you see includes the fork.
Colorado Cyclist has just the frame for $1100
They have the fork for $40
Total of $1140us + shipping and such.
Does the LBS frame/fork include anything else like a headset or anything like that? Otherwise the upsides are that it is at your LBS and you don't have to worry about extra duties/taxes, shipping charges or damage, etc.
