Here's the deal: My buddy and I both bought new Giant DH Comps from the LBS last week. We were told that the first boatload of bikes due in from Asia was completely sold out, and that it would be March 1st before the first bikes would arrive. Now it turns out that the shop is going to get one of the bikes in from the first boatload, and the second from the second.
So here's my dilemma; I paid in full on the spot, and my buddy only paid what he had as a down payment (he only needs $350 to finish payment, and has it now). Should I take the bike when it comes in, or flip a coin with him to see who takes it? I've been without a bike for about 3 months now, and he's got a bike ready to ride sitting in his house.
If it sounds bias, it's because it is - I really want a bike to ride. At the same time, I want to hook a friend up with a new bike that he's been talking about since last fall. I'm looking to you guys - fellow bikers, to see what I should do.

If you don't have a bike to ride, you should either get the first one, or let him get the first one and borrow whatever he was riding.
