2019 Fx Sport 5
Two days ago went to LBS and found 2019 fx sport 5 women's bike (Medium) on closeout for $1389.00.
Is this a good price to buy.

On the one hand, that's only about a 25% discount for a two-year old bike. On the other hand, $500 is $500, it's actually available to buy now (which is worth something considering how depleted many bike shops are right now), and I don't think that the FX Sport 5 has changed much since 2019; like the 2019, the 2021 model has the OCLV 400 carbon frame, hydraulic disc brakes, and the Tiagra 2x10 drivetrain.

Being an older model it pretty much means that the shop was having a hard time selling it. I would use that as leverage and see what else they might throw in to sweeten the deal. It never hurts to ask.

Thanks for the info. I bought this one and now looking for tubeless tires for this. Any suggestions.
