Be interested to hear how you get on. Went round some of the LBS thinking that this would be a good time to get some deals, just before the 2009 stock comes in. There are nothing like as many deals as I was anticipating: possibly because the manufacturers are experiencing increased commodity costs, implying that next year's models may be as much as 20% more expensive. Also one dealer told me that the manufacturers are not going to produce as many bikes next year, with the result that this year's stock are holding their prices.
