Also check out if Performance or any other retailers have the Iron Horse Transit 3.0 in stock. I got one from Amazon.com for $399 shipped when my son needed to upgrade from his HEAVY base model front-suspension hybrid. I was looking at the base line Sirrus (aluminum fork, Sora components) for 489 on sale, and the Sport for $689 (upgraded fork, but still Sora components). The Transit has a carbon fork and Tiagra components. Since we're mid-way through the season, you might also find a deal on the Sirrus (which has a cooler looking frame)
