When I was shopping for my touring bike, I was going for a test drive and the manager said to go around the block and come back. I told him I was going for a 30 minute drive or I wouldn't even consider buying the bike. I eventually bought the bike from them after a few test rides. I figure that if I am taking this bike touring and spending a weeks time or more on it, that I wanted a longer test ride. They probably thought I was a jerk with a few long test rides but it was in October and they didn't seem too busy.
What do you do when you are buying a custom bike?
