When you say a little 'more' as in how much? Some people are saying that the price in lbs could be up to 30 percent plus over bike direct.Although I still plan to check it out, last year on sale model would be perfect for me.
30% would be a lot of "extra" to pay for a piece of hardware. It's peanuts if the difference is a lifetime of enjoyment.
My last bicycle purchase was a Catrike 559. I bought it at a local shop because I needed to try it out and I needed to see how it would fit into my car. I nearly gagged on the price, but it was the exact tool that I needed. That was about a month age and I'm delighted that I made the purchase.
