Sounds to me like that the shop was trying to sell you what they had, and not neccessarily selling you what you wanted/needed.
2. Bike shops can/do order bikes all of the time. Ask the Scott shop if they can order you a SUB 30, and how much it would cost.
It looked like the OCR 3, Red / Silver, but the wheels / seat tube / head tube were the fancy low spoke or carbon fiber parts. Yeah they guy was kind of full of **** imo, so I wont be going back there.
Thanks for the advice on the sub 30... I hope it's a good bike and I wont be shooting myself in the foot for purchasing it.
