What exactly do these people mean when they ask that? Are they simply concerned whether the frame is the right size, or is there a deeper question being asked?
There is a deeper question. It's a nice way of saying, "The question that you asked is one that is often asked by people without a lot of cycling experience. What you probably don't realize is that if a bike doesn't fit you, it doesn't matter how good a deal it is. Our experience is that if you end up with a bike that isn't the right size for you, you won't be happy"
