2012 Specialized Allez Comp - How much discount should I aim for?
The end of the year is near and bike shops are not too hesitant with giving a discount on these, so I would like to ask how much I should be asking for something that's normally $770 msrp? Thanks in advance.

thanks guys. I totally flipped the stem (see what I did there) and got a Bianchi Via Nirone 7 Sora instead. Asked for $800 rather than the $969 msrp and got it! Rode it home and I'm so very happy with it. Even my girlfriend, who has seen me buy at least 7 bikes since July, gave a nod of approval.

I still got most of them. Sold a couple. I wanted a new start. I'm quite happy with my lineup now. (It's in my sig)
