Slightly OT: Best Search Engine For Bikes(Nationwide)?

Just as the title says, how are you all finding that particular bicycle, if it's not local or posted in one of your favorite forums or websites?

I've used Search Tempest, but am not convinced that it is the answer...

Appreciate any helpful input.

I've used dailylister.com to search CL. There is also the BOBishBikesFS Google group.
