Success! Don't you let on that I told you this, but a couple days ago I sent a very short note to www.beyondbikes.com asking if they were going to put their women's dom 4s on sale like they had the men's (website says $139.99). Told them I would buy a pair at that price.

Their sales manager emailed back to call him and he would get me the sale price. Just talked to him and he can't get me the 2004 model, but he's giving me the 2005 model which looks like almost the same color for only $8 more. Whoopee! Xmas gift to my tootsies! Pays to ask very politely.
