That'd be a mighty expensive brake reservoir

Just stick it out a little longer. It will be worth the wait.

have you ever made a big purchase like that before? do you have a steady job and a reasonable credit record already?

couple points:

*that bike is closing up on the end of its life cycle
*its dead in the middle of the riding season
*the economy still sucks

wait it out till the fall when yami lets the cat out of the bag on the new model, then try to make any purchases in the dead of winter when business is slow and hold on to your current bike until spring and flip it for the maximum profit

good points. end of the season is always best time to buy a bike. I always would try to look for leftovers and get a better deal and a full warantee anyway.
