Not to beat a dead horse, but I also want to "plus 1" for finding a great LBS. I was already leaning towards a steel bike, but the LBS sold it for me. The fact that I had been visiting that shop for a few months and always got good advise with zero pressure helped immensely and it's paid off with the bike I chose in the end. I LOVE my bike and love the shop manager, wrenches and fitter. I get superb service and they have thrown in a lot of little extras. I also went with last years model to get the biggest discount.
