...is the best time to get a bargain xc mountain bike? January after Xmas? just before the new models come out, whenever that is?

I'm looking for something at about £300-350 with equal or better spec than a GT avalanche/aggressor 3 so I don't want to buy anything immediately if there is going to be a price drop next week/month.

cheers

    nowadays most of the new model bikes are around from Aug-November so any time between these dates is usually bargain time! look out for 2009 bikes that already have 2010 replacements on sale as shops will be very keen to get rid of old stock, if you want something semi-decent stick to the top end of your budget, you could probably bag a £700 bike for £500 if you're lucky, my 2008 Gary Fisher Big Sur has an rrp. of £1000, I bought it for £600 ex-demo so it just shows you how much shops will drop prices!
    Carbon fibre, it's all nonsense. Drink beer. Ride a steel bike. Don't be a ponce.
