Ah, ok. Yes, 50% off is possible if you get things just right and a little bit lucky. Still, I'd be very careful about trying to make sure you'll fit well on it.

Also, you might check with your LBSes if they might have some used ones on consignment you could try out in person. Some of the shops I've known have done that.
