As stated in a previous post, I'm in the market for a Trek 5200. Seems most shops I've been in are trying to clear out their '06 lines right about now....the lowest I've seen a new '06 5200 going for is $2000. Does this seem like a reasonable price (retail seems to be around $2400-$2600 at most places I've visited), or should I keep looking around???

A shop near my house is selling them for $2k as well. Seems like a good price to me.

I paid $2k for mine, but it also came with a wireless CatEye, two carbon RavX cages, a Specialized seatbag, spare tube, CO2 thingy, and Look Keo carbon pedals.

Wow...I paid $2,500 for my '04 last year, but I got $100 worth of free stuff from the shop (whatever I wanted). However, it was exactly what I wanted, and was willing to pay the price. For $2k, I'd jump all over it.

I don't know how the '06's are, but mine was spec'ed fairly well for what it is.

Most shops in the Chicagoland area list the bike under MSRP at or around $2200 or $2300. So I would think you could grab one for $2K with a little shopping. Later.

So you wound up with the 5200??? Nice, congrats! Now get off the computer and ride that bad boy!

The 5200 it was indeed Bass, thanks for all the input on both my posts!! I'm sure I'll have more questions once I actually get into buying some gear to go along with it, but for now I'm soaking it up!!!
