Research the bikes ahead of time before you go to the bike shop so that you aren't pressured to take a bike that's *a real steal*. Then contact a bike shop to see if they offer a variety of bikes from different manufacturers. Also, take your bike with you to compare the newer bike and also to have it on hand in case the bike shop will take your Fuji in on a trade or to swap out pedals and seat to test ride on the new bike.

Have a great time shopping for your bike and if you have any questions about brands or frames, please ask away. TE members are really helpful and offer excellent suggestions.
+1. Do your homework so you can shop wisely and avoid the heartburn of ending up with a bike that isn't quite what you really wanted. It happens more than you'd like to think.
