That's hard for anyone but you to say.
It's a starter bike. I don't know how critical $400 bucks is to your cash-flow situation but this is going to be a learning thing for you.
Have you gone to any bike shops and just sort of "felt" them out?
Many retailers in different lines of goods are adapting to competing with the on-line world. Some have embraced the selling channel and have learned to live on the ancillary business of service and accessory sales. Some resent it extremely. Some can convince you that you should just do your business with them. It will cost you nothing but time to walk in their shop and tell them what you want to do.
