When I was looking around for the previous model year bikes, "The Path" was nowhere near the cheapest. The bigger shops had more decent deals. I'm guessing the path just didn't do enough volume. On the other hand, they are probably one of the best bike shops in OC with almost a cult following...big S is becoming more tainted with a lot of their customers by doing this.
I do love The Path for mountain bike stuff, and it's sad to see them lose Specialized.
