I am looking to purchase my first road bike. Obviously I want the best deal
for the least amount of money and I was looking at the Performance/Supergo
brand bikes hopefully with Ultegra components. Question basically is what
is the peak deal season for last year's models?
anyone know of any good deals on a similar bike? I live in the Bay Area

usually in the winter is the best time to buy last year's model. the pickings might be slim. check with your local LBS to see what kind of deal you can work. don't get to hung up on components. make sure the frame fits you first. negotiate components later. Check http://www.coloradocyclist.com/bikefit/ to get in the ball park on fit. there are some other more elaborate fit systems on-line that you can google later if you need other ideas. Also check the beginner forum for further opinions.
