Oh and they "can probably throw in helmet and such..." locally I haven't been able to find much used. I am prequalified for $5500 already and I have enough cash to get the SE (I want the black spark color and will remove those stupid pinstripes. No offense to anyone who has them I just don't like the pinstriping). I think I'm just gonma take a check in for the amount and hope they will come down some. If not from what I've gathered the price is about average for a new bike from the dealer...

And do you already have gear? Don't forget you'll be dropping at least $700 on gear, that's going with "middle of the road" type of gear. Much more if you want high end stuff. And I second the notion to buy used. Check on craigslist in your area & the surrounding areas, as well as cycletrader.
