If you are negotiating bike price, and you hit a wall at a higher price than you hoped, you can try to have some of the accessories thrown in for free or discount. That is a good way to get what you will need and reduce the total out-of-pocket and has proven successful over time.

After making your deal at your LBS it also makes sense to hunt for good prices on accessories online, especially the non-clothing items that don't involve fit.
