Question on closeouts...
So it's my understanding that the 2005 models will be coming out in a month or so and that 2004s usually go on sale at this time.
What kind of sale should one expect (% wise)? Is it usually a gradual increase (starts of at $100 then after 1 week $200 so on and so forth) or is it a one time decrease and 1st come 1st serve to grab it?
As you can obviously see I'm a newb to all of this, got a hardtail mountain bike a few months back to commute to work (6 miles each way). I'm seeing a lot more pavement in my future (and not much trails) so I really wanted to get a quality road bike with as much bang for the buck that's possible.
Trek 22-2300 seems abou right...

I'm picking up a 2004 Fuji Professional this week for only $1725 walkout - I think that's pretty seriously discounted for end of year, and they had to order my size (64cm)!

Bikesdirect.com has some good deals on Ultegra level bikes in the $1K range. But you won't be able to ride them first.
