There are some good deals on last years models even after $100 shipping to the USA. Some of them might even be in my size, but I'd hate to buy a bike without trying it out (especially since even after reading sizing charts I don't really understand them). I guess I'll stick to my original plan and wait until next summer and buy a bike when I'm in Europe. After all, it won't do me any good in the USA for the couple of weeks I plan on biking in Europe anyway.
