I didn't realize until I was doing some research - that Santa Cruz is big in England. It's easier to find a bike there than it is here and Santa Cruz is basically a local shop for me.
I already have a Superlight. The Juliana is an newer version. The old bike is going to become my backup.
Buying online does not bother me if you know the bike and how it fits. I bought a custom Landshark basically "online" and could only hope it fit... it does and it's been a wonderful bike for me. Key is research, ask questions, research and question and don't take the plunge until you are satisfied.
As soon as I get the new bike (should be about 2 weeks) I'll post photos.
