Plus, the bike I chose was exactly what I was looking to buy, and after I received it that bike far exceeded expectation re. ride quality and fit. Admittedly, those last two things were presumptive reasons to buy based on YouTube videos and lots of other web reviews, but they proved out. Also, I think the Ritchey saddle scares off a lot of buyers. Heh.
