Well, I kinda knew it was going to happen. The snobbery seems exclusive within both my bike shops. All I wanted to do was have a sit on one and see if it felt ok. I can adjust a bike myself, I really don't need or want to shave 0.001 off of my PB by having the perfect fit, as I don't have a PB and don't care.

Next few bikes to add to the list for consideration:
