Agreed... nothing wrong with asking, but beating up the LBS is poor form.

I did ask this general question at a few Trek dealers "When buying a Project One bike is there any flexibility in the price given by Trek"? Two said no, the price you see is the price you pay. One said they'd "work with me". And one said they'd only wanted to sell what was in stock and showed me a SLR 6 at full list price.

I purchased from the one that said they're work with me... and they sure did.
