I too have a 29" inseam. And every bike shop I have ever been to has tried to sell me a "crotch banger". I tell them the frame is to tall and want to order a bike with a smaller frame and they say "no,no,that would be to small for you." And yet on this forum everyone says go to your local bike shop as they will fit you right. Baloney! They want to sell you what they have on the floor. Fortunately I have only one "hanger". That turned me off to anything but very causual cycling for many years as I didn't have the money for a good bike and the used ones didn't fit me either. Now why a bike shop will knowingly sell a customer a bike that can cause them physical harm as well as be uncomfortable is beyond me. But they do it all the time,at least to short people just to sell a bike.

So I am very happy you were able to return the bike. They wouldn't return mine.
