Aah, that was you! I did read that in your earlier post. Thanks for your input.

I did see the bike listed online at Performance, but we don't have any retail stores in my area, so going that route is probably not an option. So yes, I may be paying a few thousand MORE by not getting the deep Performance Bike discount, but I'm okay with that. The only bad part is that I'd have to really think hard about starting to switch out parts (wheels?) because the costs definitely add up fast.
