If we didn't have such mild winters, maybe.

You might get a good deal going into winter, but you're not going to save that much.

Get a short list of models and keep watching the ads for a bargain to surface.

You'll have more power as a buyer buying now. The deal you get still depends on how much the seller needs your money.

If you start looking now you'll have more chance of picking up a bargain, since you've at about 5 months till decent biking weather, as your not under pressure to buy straight away.

Was in the same boat this time last year.

The bike I wanted sat in the shop from sept till feb, feb price was 4k cheaper compared to the sept price.
