It's pretty standard in my experience. There are several factors at work
you have to realize. One is that some manufacturers don't like shops
marking their bikes cheaper than list price. I would recommend you find the
shop you're most comfortable with, who take the time to FIT the bike
properly for you and look like they have competent shop staff and pay
whatever they want. Well, try to knock them down a big.. ;-) Believe me,
a proper fit and competent staff are worth the bucks.
Cheers,
Scott..
