That goes for ANYTHING. These days, there are forums for any conceivable item you want to purchase, all u have to do is google, spend some time, and don't fall in love with anything.
Let this be lesson to your bigger ticket item purchase, car, house.

Welcome to the Information Age, albeit ~15 yrs late.

What are you talking about 15 years late? I looked at bikes I was interested in on the company web sites and went to ride them at my bike store. I haven't put a enough miles on a bicycle to really know how I feel, so I ask the sales at the bike store for the opinions. I thought it's what I wanted and felt good, but the more you ride, somehow I wish I tested the smaller model. There are people that recommend Ibex which you can only buy through online. What's the point of that? What's good for one person might not be good for another. I know the next time to ride more models, and different sizes.

I have buyers remorse over everything I buy. LOL But that is just my personality. I get over it rather quickly and never look back.

Keep in mind, buyer's remorse is different than the guilt trip your spouse lays on you for spending "our" money on something for yourself.

Get me into a bike shop. I have remorse when I don't buy a new bike. If I were rich, I am sure I'd have a garage full of bikes. My pulse rate increases when ever I see a Colagno, Litespeed, Bianchi, and a Bruce Gordon.
