Heads up guys:

http://www.trekbikes.com/ca/en/yearendsale/

Trek is blowing out some 2011 inventory. I was originally going to get a 2012 Madone 5.9, and spend $5400, but they have the 5.1 on for $2599!! That is crazy for a 17 pound Rival bike. I called Ridleys, and they are bringing one in for me @ $2499. I am a bit of a weight weenie, but electric shifting and 1/2 a pound is in no way worth $2900. I have seen some Ultegra Di2 grouppos pop up for around $1200 recently, so even if I retro fit a Di2 kit, I am $1800 ahead of the game. I am perfectly OK with mechanical shifting for another year or 2, plus I have always wanted to try SRAM double tap.

Really dig the burnt orange actually. Looks slick.

The 4.7 @ $2199 is also a great deal as well. Full 105 (not 105 shifters with a garbage crankset), full carbon at that price is a heck of a deal. Ask for Travis at Ridleys and maybe he can work you a bit better deal.

A little more understated as for the look too.

Anyway, they have some pretty awesome deals on road and mountain and Ridleys will bring one in with a 20% deposit.
