Depends, are you in a rush to get the ss? I picked up a GT Peace SS from Nashbar in January for $350. You way do better in the off season getting a good deal. I think the Peace is a far better bike then that Nashbar. Not a bad bike, but have you checked out bikesdirect.com? i just picked up a Gravity 29.4 from them and I love that bike. Check them out, not sure what their SS are, but worth a look
