You can shop Jenson through the site here where they share the sale. Don't hesitate to call The Path either! At least you can find out pricing. I think they do free shipping on orders over $100? Make sure to ask. You can always throw in something extra

If that doesn't float your boat, PricePoint, Blue Sky Cycling, and sometimes even Beyond Bikes have good prices. I've never had any problems with ordering from Price Point online (if they say it's in stock it is). Never ordered online from Beyond.

Another site I like is http://www.bestwebbuys.com Then click on the bikes tab.

Check out www.spadout.com and do a search in the moutain bike section. It should pull up some good deals.

Best thing for you is to see what Beyond Bikes has in-stock and search online to see if anyone has a better price. Then go into the store and have them price match.

Actually they have the RF one that I have for a good price.

Sweet! Then you can head over to LPQ by the baseball fields and start rolling over those logs to break it in.

EDIT:
Also make sure you get the right size. If your middle ring is the standard 32 you'll want a 34 bashguard to give your chain some protection. It will also give you more clearance than the 36 I linked too. I didn't see the fine print.

Only thing I can think of is cost or weight.

That's debateable.

[FONT=Century Gothic]What about [/FONT][FONT=Century Gothic]Smooth or Serrated? Curious more than anything since I think i might go serrated on my next bashguard.

I've got one poly carbonate and one aluminum. Just depends on what you want. Both work for their intended purposes.

Since I'm a photo whore:

i always though serrated ones were for trials and/or rolling over stuff.

i guess i could see the serrated ones assisting in a climb over a rock or log... but i like the "sliding over it" idea better.
