That doesn't come off wrong at all. I realized that when I posted it. After mulling it over I am now leaning toward saving more before purchasing. Spend 600.00 on a bike that I will want to upgrade later or wait and get something better. Seems like a more logical choice. I still have some time before spring comes back anyway.
This is very good information from all and helps tremendously in pinning down what I am looking for.
Also, there is a shop in town that offers free fitting and maintenance for life when purchasing a bike from them. That would also cut the cost down on the fitting price.
