Well it depends of what u want, is your money.

Is your problem if you take an early model and leave them push you the bike

Personally I have bought only 1 full bike all my life and did not even ride it in the store, I even told the guy to discount the tune up for life crap because they were not going to see me again in that shop probably ever and the guy did as i asked, saved like 400 bucks.

What u can learn from this? that u have to know what you want, if you dont know what u want then the LBS sale man will get you bent over nicely and probably will end with stuff u don't even need.

I dare to say that 70% of this forums buy bike on line and not in LBS, why? because they know what they want and deal sometimes with a kid that have no idea it is painful, more over... probably what they want and need is not even sold in the LBS.

Good luck
