I really want a bike and was so close to purchasing my first in September but then chickened out since it was getting colder out. Of course it warmed up for the next two months and I kick myself now. I called the LBS today and it's still the same price, $439. I didn't want to ask if it'll go on clearance soon in case that's rude. It's a Cannondale Quick 6, if that matters. They're sold out at REI, I see online. Here I thought with Christmas and the snow outside it would be on sale!
