yea that's what I thought, but they all appear to be clearance pricing on bikes direct. Still, it would be illogical to use the parts on the 2011 model when they can use the same parts on the 2012 model to be sold for $200 more.
oh well there are other deals. I'm still not sure if it's the right time to get my first legit road bike, and whether I should shoot for 105 or tiagra. I guess it would make sense to settle for tiagra for both monetary as well as longevity purposes.
