What [MENTION=158672]FBinNY[/MENTION] said. If you are buying something special order that no one around you stocks, you should probably already have an idea of what you need, otherwise why did you come to the conclusion you need THAT bike? Otherwise, pick something you like that you can try locally and just go with that.
I ordered my fat bike sight unseen, because after riding a few locally that I was trying to compromise on price or equipment, I just realized that fit all of them fell into something I could make work for me anyhow. Took a new stem when it arrived, but it feels as good as any others I test rode.

PB does. Had the please of sitting behind one of those people in line to check out one day, returning a bike a couple days shy of 365 days that had obviously been used and abused, with them arguing with the only sales person about the damages they were going to deduct from the refunds that PB didn't even want to give them because of condition. The wife was already picking out new bikes almost identical to what they had, what they were up to was painfully obvious.
Then again, I scored my like-new Mazama for 75% off because someone bought it and decided after a year that they were never going to ride it, so I don't always hate the policy
