    My LBS has sold out of the 06 range and are now stocking the 07.
    I missed the clearance sale of the 06 range and the 07 is now sold pretty much at retail cost.

    The 07 is listed @ 1490$

    The most discount they can give me is about 75$, so come down to about 1420.

    Is this an ok price to pay? considering they throwing in the standard free service etc.. and they are local.

    Or should I try and find a better deal on the net and get it delivered. What is the lowest price I can realistically get it for ?

    Also how does the Trek Hybrid range compare with the CRX line in terms of value for money and quality ? The CRX's seem to have composite parts, 10 x2 speed too. where as the Treks in the same price range don't and have 9-speeds, but they do have a disc brakes. Who makes the lighter bike in this pricerange ?

    thanks..

    I phoned one LBS a couple of weeks back and was given these as "expected" street prices:

    CRX 0 (Disc Brake) $1999
    CRX 1 (I didn't ask)
    CRX City (Nexus gears) $899
    CRX 3 (I didn't ask)
    CRX 2W (Ladies bike) $1050
    CRX 4W (Ladies bike) $525

    See http://www.cyclingforums.com/t342987.html the 2007 Giants topic in the Aus Forum for comments. 🙂

    You think someone could go substentially lower then $1400AUD for a CRX-1 2007 model? Enough so as to justify dealing with an E-shop or a non-local bikeshop ?

    I don't shop online, but usually ring or visit a few bike shops. There are plenty of Giant dealers around!

    From my calcs, $1399 should be the street price.

    I've been shopping for a CRX-1 recently and have found that 'over the phone' lbs are reluctant to discuss their "best price". If you rock up in person (and ready to hand over the $ there and then) then expect 10-15% off retail If they say no, then take your buiness somewhere else. Too Easy !!!😄
