There is not a huge markup on bicycles. Shops make more profit on accessories and labor. That's where the "deals" can be made. Free year of adjustments could be huge. Discount on helmet, clothes, racks might be OK, but there just isn't that much room for them to move on the bike itself, especially in the price range you're talking. Be nice and get great service from them.
