I am interested in buying a Trek FX 7.9. The problem is I do not want the 2010 model but the 2009. I am interested in saving a few hundred dollars.

This is a general bike question in my mind. Does something exist out there- some will say "the internet"- but i have yet to find a site that can give me inventory or possible inventory of a make/model of any bike. i know the idea is to "support the local shop" and i am fine with that, but i would like to know if my local shops even carry that kind of bike.

can anyone guide me to something other than global craigslist search or ebay?
