I have been out shopping for a new road bike (Trek/Specialized). Can anyone point me to a shop that will negociate on price or who has the best deals? Posted by Rboc on 04/25/05

Re: Road Bike Purchase
Not many shops are willing to negociate on prices as the profit margins on bikes is not that great. What area are you in and how far are you willing to travel? Have you shopped or priced bikes online yet?
If you show them cash, like in their faces, they'll start talking. Paz Afuera Posted by Papisimo riding a Bike on 04/25/05

Papo's right - cash is king! Also, if you agree to something close to the asking price, most times the shop will negotiate 'free' upgrades and accessories. Posted by FFW a 46 year old Cross-Country Rider riding a SWorks from Palmdale on 04/25/05

Re: Road Bike Purchase
Please send me an e-mail where I can find this Trek shop.
Supergo sells Specialized. Helen's Cycle's sells Trek. Both are in Santa Monica on Broadway and both will negotiate. Ask for Monty or Adam at Helen's and work with Jim the manager at Supergo. These are two shops I deal with in the LA area. I live in the valley and make the drive. There are a boatload of shops that carry these brands. The most important factor in a road bike is fit. Helen's is all about getting you fitted and Monty is the man. Supergo will do it too- I think. Good luck! Posted by DDawg on 05/08/05
