tygab: It's a '08 Madone 5.5. I had a few dilemmas:
  • Get it or not? Fearing a huge '09 price increase, I did
  • Where to get it? We have two LBS's that we're loyal to
  • Get the 5.2 or 5.5? The 5.2 is not available in my short size...would it become available? maybe...but if it doesn't, it puts me back in the price increase dilemma...
  • When it arrived yesterday, it had two chips in the paint...should I get them to send a new frame or get a discount? I chose the discount...so between an LBS sale event and the discount, my cost is closer to a 5.2 priceand this makes Mr. Silver a very happy boy
