Me too. I tried to find it locally, but they were out. I also tried (at two different shops of the same chain) to test a different bike (the one I thought I really wanted), but they didn't have it. I also drove about 25 minutes out of town, to a shop where I bought a bike in the past, to try and ride said bike - they didn't have it.
So, I ordered a BMC Street Racer from CC. Cheaper than the other bike would have been, even with the end of year discount they were offering. If they had it. Which they did not.
As far as the local shops went, they were all pretty good, it seemed. They spent time talking to me, and I would have spent a bit more to buy my bike locally, if they had what I wanted.
