As Dovebiker has said there is unlikely going to be a good time to buy a bike in the next year, still a struggle to buy certain parts, frames, bikes etc, prices seem to be going up by alot more than inflation alone, I would contact a reputable shop for advice or if you know what you are after maybe have a look on eBay and Gumtree for barely used second hand bikes, I was in at my local bike shop last week and owner was saying he is starting to see lots of barely used bike appearing second hand as people were just desperate to buy bikes during the spring and summer, hence a lot of bike were missed sold, wrong size, wrong type etc, and now we are into winter people are now trying to sell them.
