In attempting to put my Schwinn Hybrid back together and (I'm stuck at
getting the derailleur, etc. just so) almost to the point to give up and
take it to the LBS and drop the cash for them to fix it or see if they
would take it as a trade in if that's even done in the bike world.

Anyway, I was wondering if you 'guys' had noticed if there's any good
times of years to keep eyes peeled for sales? Since I've never purchased a
bike before, thought I would ask


Buy 2005 bikes, or even 2004. Just bought a Giant and saved 20%, and a mate
saved 33%!
