For All Seasons

Hi Everyone,
After many years of no cycling, I decided to get back on my bike earlier this year and bought a Carrera Crossfire I hybrid bike. I'm loving my cycling but already want to upgrade and change to a road bike. As most people, funds are tight and the company I work for does nto participate in the Cycle to Work scheme, so I'm looking to save pennies where I can. So, my question is, do bikes generally come down in cost through the winter months? At the moment, with Bradley waking up Britons to cycling, I'm thinking the manufacturers will be coining it in but once it dies down, normal service will be resumed.
I don't mind waiting a few months if it's going to save me a bit of money but I just wanted to see if the cycling market is like the car cabriolet market in summer and winter.
Cheers
Graeme

I think (might be wrong) that when the 2013 models of bikes come out, the 2012 bikes generally go down in price quite a bit.

If you have a decathalon near you they are awesome value for money. Otherwise Jazloc is correct - older models form the bigger brands get cheaper as new models are introduced. The following thread is worth keeping an eye on:
