958.0. "When to buy now or spring?" by WOODRO::LEWIS () Fri Jan 06 1989 08:31

    Ok all you bikers out there. I have a question for you. It's been
    a while ssince I've bought a bike. My question is when is the best
    time to buy. I'm thinking about buying it as soon as the 89 models
    are out, won't be getting to much use out of it until spring (it's
    a mountain bike so I might take it out once or twice in the snow
    if we get any). I don't really need it until spring, but I'm afraid
    the price will increase in the spring when most people buy them.
    What's your thoughts?
    
    Thanks for your help!

    PS. In case your wondering I want a Rockhopper Comp.

	Now, while in the winter, bike shops are having a slow season, there are likely to be sales on. When it warms up, there will be less of a selection, and the bike shops will all be more crowded. Alan.

	I would look now. A lot of the 89's are in. If you are willing to take an '88 you may get a good price because the dealers want to get the 88's out of the shops. It seems to me that Bicycle Alley in Worcester is having a sale on the Specialized mountain bikes.... JC
958.3	Many good bike shops	AKOV11::COHEN		`Fri Jan 06 1989 15:40`	14
	Due to the apparent biaseness towards the Bike Alley in Worcester by writers to this notesfile, I'd just like to mention that there are at least 5 very high quality bike shops in the Boston area that are probably having sales on all kinds of bikes as well. Briefly: Bicycle Exchange: Harvard Sq. Cambridge Bike Nashbar: Needham International Bicycle Center: Brighton, Newton Frank's Spoke and Wheel: Framingham, Westborough, Waltham Plus many others ABC
958.4	Support for .3 -- Cheaper than Bike Trashbar....	CESARE::JOHNSON	Tutto sbagliato; tutto da rifare.	`Sat Jan 07 1989 16:29`	7
	My ex-SO (yes, we still talk, believe it or not) recently got a Vitus-framed bike with Shimano 600 SIS, Mavic MA40 Rims, and nice tires for $8** at the Bicycle Exchange. Though I'd never buy an aluminum bike myself (no, we didn't break up over this), I have to admit that it was a great deal. MATT
