So?.. Any deals from the International Bike Show this year?

I got a stellar deal this weekend: a Devinci hybrid with XT rear mech, Deore shifters in top-notch mechanical condition for *drumroll* two hundred and fifty dollars (tax included). The model? Steve Bauer Bike Tours. They were at the show selling off some used bikes, but I swear, they have been really lightly used.

The only downside is that by the time I got to their booth they sold most of their bikes already (no wonder), and I got a model with a small frame, while I'd really prefer a medium. Riding it home from the show was not very comfortable - I just felt too cramped, my butt was sliding off the saddle. After getting home I pushed the saddle all the way back and flipped the stem. Rode it for 17 km today and it seems much better. I really hope I can make it work. It might be okay as it is now, or I might get a longer stem... But it's a sweeeet bike with a sweeeet ride.

I also got a pair of shoes, a pair of gloves and a jersey (and boy did I have to stand in a line to get them - Brown's Sport & Cycle had nearly an hour-long line-up!)

Anyone else score any great deals?
