    Try looking at the local Trek shops over the summer, the new models start trickling out at the end of the summer and sometimes you can get a little better deal. Both Bicycle Sport Shop and Mellow Johnny's are pretty good but I think there is University Cyclery or Freewheeling bikes that are also Trek. There are TONS of shops in Austin and It can pay off the just start poking around. Maybe you even find a 2007 or 2008 that has been marked down (I have seen some at several shops) and fits as well?

    I would try now, I really think BSS and some of the other shops have some old stock. Who cares if it isn't the latest year, if the components and fit make you happy?

    I would take a several year old bike if it fit right.

    I am thinking of my wrists! I didn't realise how much they hurt on my current setup until after I road the other bike.

    There's a lot of threads on here for what you can adjust about your bike so that your wrists don't hurt.
