getting the derailleur, etc. just so) almost to the point to give up and

Sell it on eBay.

Not all guys in this NG and some pretty smart gals to boot.

thanks for the heads up!

and I was meaning 'guys' as a general term - but I guess that the

Buy 2005 bikes, or even 2004. Just bought a Giant and saved 20%, and a mate
saved 33%!

About now. Seems most new models are released _here_ about
October/early November so now is a good time to pick up a last year's
