If you ride M or XL, you better order one soon - they're available on the website. You can always return it. Or you can wait and see:
1. If they drop the price even more; last year they clearanced the Novaras at 20-25% off, but there's a chance of them selling out
2. If the 3.1/3.2 models of next year borrow more from the 2.1 than the 3.1 - REI is killing off the 2.1
REI Co-op bikes - Novara with new paint?
By the way, the 2.1 has been in/out of stock since the beginning of summer. It all makes sense now.
