The rental suggestion is a good one, and I have no doubt should you rent from them, my LBS would give you credit towards purchase of a new bike. And even if OP decides not to purchase, better to spend $20 or $30 to avoid an $800 or $1,000 mistake.
You know, I never even thought abut that. I wonder if my LBS does rentals? Not that I would use the service but now I am curious!
