Hi all

I'm a good customer of my LBS, and am looking at buying a summer bike for sportives etc next summer. It'll probably be a pretty good specced SuperSix HM.

So, what level of discount should I hope/expect/dream of getting?

Thanks for the advice, always good to have thoughts before I spend too much money on bike equipment (again).

    Shop around online. Find the lowest price you can. Ask them to match it. If not - buy from the cheaper place you found it.

    LBS may discount - depends on their starting price, if the item is in stock, how long it has been in stock ,etc, etc.

    You may get a discount ranging from 0% to 25%. Really depends.

    Sorry, bit off topic, but which is your LBS that stocks Cannondale (I know evans does, but looking for a decent shop that takes cyclescheme)? I live pretty close to Wandsworth and would be looking to get a Supersix in the new year too.

    Also factor in after sales cost. I normally buy from my LBS because their after-sales servicing is second to none and usually frre, apart from parts.
