Just curious. What do LBSs consider the end of the season, where they start to unload at reduced prices? Bikes seemed REALLY cheap around November last year. Any thoughts?

Thanks,

I am in Australia, and currently the shops are starting to sell 2004 bikes quite cheaply, particularly from the bigger brands, so I suspect now, next month and up to september if stocks last, you'll see all the 2004 stuff being sold cheaper.

around where i live, the mtb population is not as large as in some places. Niagara falls ontario. So the few shops around here do not have major end of season sales. They have a solid handfull of 2002 and 2003 bikes that are not insanely marked down.

A little off topic, but i thought it was funny. I was looking for hockey equipment (goalie pads) a little while ago. They had a pair that was 5 years old(technology has changed a lot since then), and the origional regular priced sticker was still on them. If they don't know, they will never sell them at any price now.

Seems like it's starting to happen now actually. Lots of places discounting forks and frames it seems.

Some LBS are advertising big sales in August, so it should be starting soon. I notice some online places are doing it already, at least with parts. Like dirtpaws said, forks are on clearance already. You can get some decent prices on 04 Fox Forx right now.
