Ya know...maybe you might reconsider using the lbs as some kind of free sizing service if you have no intention of buying a bike from them. After all, the only reason they're able to keep the doors open so that you can cruise in the door and try out bikes is because people spend money there. Seems if you're benefiting from the service, you ought to not simply say, "Thanks!" and walk out the door, and then turn around and be prowling craigslist for the deal of the century.
