Thanks for the replies.

I measured me inseam and i am 36 inches ( I have long legs!) But is that long comparitive to my hight? I want to make sure the ride will be as confortable as possible.

The shop said that I get a 15% discount on all purchases for a whole year with the purchase of a bike which sorta leads me to belive they have overpriced goods that I could buy online for way cheaper.

What kind of shorts do you suggest? I don't want anything to expensive (no more than 45 dollars) but I want the shorts to help with custoning so my butt doesnt hurt.

I was looking at these:

Does the gel insert thing really help?

How about a helment? Is it one-size fits all kind of thing? I sorta have a skinny head that is long.

I want to get a computer also but I want to keep it under 30 dollars. Only really want to know speed average/max and trip miliage.

Ill probably get this short sleeve jersey.

It rained today so I didnt go to the bikeshop for a test drive.

Ill keep you posted. Any advice would be great! Do you still think the 59 size will suffice being I have a inseam of 36 inches? The bikeshop guy said leg length can be corrected with seat adjustment, and I should focus more on the the horizontal comfort. Makes sense?
