Do most LBS's have big sales on Black Friday?

Thanks All! I didn't see anything on their site or on FB but it may be early yet. It may be worth it to cruise by. Most people will be hitting the malls so hopefully I won't hit any traffic.

Guillana - maybe you should start hinting to someone that the Fuji would make a great gift

If you are in the Phoenix area, the Pearl Izumi Outlets store is selling a lot of previously marked down stuff at very big discounts on Black Friday.

The performance stores usually do a decent black Friday sale...I used to live about 3 blocks from one. And I'll second the PI suggestion. I don't know about anyone else though (bike-wise).

We stopped into one of local bike stores last week and were asking about possible sales on trainers. This is a "local Chain" (I think just several shops aroung our area) and they said that there should be some black friday sales. They just weren't sure what might be covered yet. But I think they were talking about trainers and other accessories, not necessarily bikes.

My local Trek store had a big black Friday sale last year, and that is when I got my Madonne. I can't remember the percent off. Mine was last year's model so was discounted more than the current stuff.

Thanks for your responses.

I just called my LBS and hey said that they have 10% off on all 2012 bikes from now until the end of the year. Not too bad.
There were better deals in Sept but I doubt that they will start discounting again until next Sept so I may as well pull the trigger!

I've been thinking about a Specialized mountain bike, the local Specialized dealer has a 2012 Specialized Hardrock Sport Disc 29er for $629.99 +tax(mrsp $690)and a 2012 Specialized Hardrock Disc 29er $529.99(mrsp $580).
