I didn't know about the 20% off sale at Performance!
Performance will allow you to exchange the bike free of charge within the first 90 days. If they can't accomodate you with another bike, they'll give you a total refund!
However, since you live in Florida, where there are no Performance Oulets, I do believe you'd have to pay for all shipping charges on returns.
Right now there are several single speed bikes that are being offered at Performance that you should not pass up, if you're seriously considering a purchase.
I'd first consider the Fuji Declaration, at about $360 (with the 20% discount). Next, I'd consider the Scanttante Americano 1 single speed, followed by the Scanttante Americano 4 single speed. The Schwinn Cutter looks good, as well as the SE Draft single speed. <---In that precise order...
Good Luck!
