Gurgus: Those are SKS fenders. I think I got em from Harris Cyclery online. I have had a few mystery flats but my friend that I ride with(who works at the lbs) was changing a flat for me today (I can change flats but he likes working on bikes so..) he was like, "oh this rim liner is ****" so he made a new one for me. I think that's where the mystery flats come from, the rim lining is too thin for any air press. over 90psi. Other than that, The Conti tire/ Sun rim combo is a ***** when you're trying to fixaflat, cause the bead is soo stiff. and the Contis wear out really fast if you skid alot. But structurally and parts are no problemo. I think my chain may have stretched out, but I do need to replace it by next mnth.

Sounds kindy fishy that they CAN get an 07, but it would cost you more money, while you would have to wait for an 08 and not pay more. Like Grimlock says, usually your LBS will be able to ask how many orders they need to qualify for free or discounted shipping. this is the case with the LBS that I help out at a day or two a week. Unless he is going to be shipping me the bike somewhere outside of Champaign, I dont think he, or any decent retailer, would/should tag you with the shipping.
Do you know if the 08 will cost more, thus increasing their desire for you to get it?

How are the 08 Langsters btw? I've seen the full line at one LBS. The chicago looks a bit flashy while the black Langster looks decent (albeit under-coat stickers). They're well within my price range also.
