I hope some of your luck with pricing comes my way this weekend
Try as many as you can. Btw, you will be hard-pressed to get the deal 2ndGen got. The manufacturers overproduced bikes for 2009 and had way too many bikes when people weren't buying. They then did the opposite for 2010's (thinking that people weren't buying new bikes as much) and my shop was running out of models by May of last year. This year the demand is still high and with all the 2010's long since cleared out, you'll most likely only be getting deals on Ultegra level bikes and higher. Some manufacturers did an early production run on the 2011 bikes (which are introduced early fall) because everyone was selling out of the 2010's. So basically it's not a buyer's market for bikers at the moment.
They'll also be cutting prices a lot less because they are anticipating cabin fever. The manufacturers are still staggering the 2011's in anticipation of this spring fever.
