Didn't see anything interesting. Walked out empty handed. Not nearly as bad as Blue Light sale. Seemed like a regular Saturday at a bike shop, but slightly busier.
They did have a set of 23c Michelin Pro4 Endurance though for 60% off @CLiVE
Damn. Just saw this. Great training tires.Quote:

Anything i should hop on before a $1500 Trance 3?
Those are some very weak discounts for 3 year old bikes that have been no doubt been thrashed. The Norco Sight is a good bike though.
The Cannondale Habits get pretty average reviews and they're heavy. Also they just look weird haha.
Kona Process' are nice bikes but discounts are weak, I guess they're only 1 year old but for an ex-rental they aren't even 30% off, which is a typical discount for a brand new 1-year-old bike.
I'd stick to your Trance plan provided you can get an independent inspection and you can get some comfort that the bike hasn't been abused too badly.
I don't know anything about Pivot bikes to comment other than that I don't like those types of rear suspension designs.
Just my opinion anyway.

Looks like a good all-rounder. I just don't know enough about Ghost bikes other than I have seen them on some deeper discounts. Component set looks fine for the most part.Quote:

German, good and solid is what I'd say... honestly most framesets are made by kensis with very similar geometries and designed using 3 standard FS linkagesQuote:

Yeah German company (but apparently not made there) is about all I knew about them.Quote:

Sale list isn’t out yet, but could be interesting. Bow trail store
End of Season sale at Ridley's starts on Sept 12

I find that these local bike shop sales are all hype with a small handful of actual deals. Unless you're looking for a bike it's a wast of time.
Sale list from Calgary Cycle. Quite the list but still leaning to the Trance

Anyone looking for a road bike? This comes off as a really good deal to me. You could get a lot lesser of a bike for more money.

That's a very good deal.Quote:
