+1. Everything seems to work out for the best. Next time though. when you find "the one", be ready to move. Happy shopping!

here's the thing, if you see something that's a deal, you can't wait on it. cause someone else is looking for 'that' deal also. if you are wanting to buy, then you should buy when you feel you've found 'the' bike. if you find a good deal and decide to wait, someone else is going to take it, guaranteed. if it sit's around too long, it isn't a deal.
Or as my dad used to say, may he rest in peace, "**** or get off the pot".

If it was there when you went to buy it - it was meant to be. If not; all well.
That is my motto for buying anything that has a large $$ tied to it. I walked out on. A few car deals, only to go home , sit on it and think "am I getting the deal of the century?". If not, I pass. If I sm still happy the next day, I go get it. And if it's gone, all well. I don't loose too much sleep on it. A couple I could have cried big allegator tears and still pissed about the loss, but all well. Win some and loose some.

It's only a good deal if it's something that you WANT.
Simply buying something because of the price (or interest rate) may not be what makes and keeps you really satisfied.
Once you find THE bike you want, don't let a few bucks be the determining factor as to whether you buy or walk, 'cause if you do you may be walking, or sitting at home regretting your decision to save a few bucks.
To me, it's more important to get the bike I WANT than it is for me to be able to say that I got a great deal on a bike that's not really what I wanted.
