I wouldn't buy from them! Buying without a proper chance to try it only makes sense when you know the bike or the price is so low that if it isn't right, you can make money when you resell.

Would a trip to Calgary make sense? Perhaps the LBS's there are better.

Would this be of interest? Cannondale Synapse 6 Full Carbon Bike AS NEW /w Bike accessories I'm not sure about fit but its been advertised for a while so the price might be quite negotiable
