I mean might as well buy it in the box and just put together your self. Dicks seems pretty desent all bikes are ready to go and they have bike repair on site. Any suggestions or experiences would be helpful we only have one LBS in town and not really sure they also sell river rafting supplies as well..
Dicks is a nice place to buy a bike. I purchased all DB's for my kids and a Wildwood prior to getting a performance hybrid. The rapid fire shifters are better than the twist grip. Twists are a PITA! Get the bike you are most comfortable with, fits within your budget, and lasts you a long time!
