Checked out Performance again over the weekend. I really liked the fuji cross but the 54" frame seemed to be way to big for me. It was the only one they had. They did not have one smaller, and would have to order it for me. I am 5'7" with a 29 inseem and a 52" roadie was still a little large. Great guys working at the Tucson store. What i liked about them best if that they did not know something they would find someone that did.
So still looking, but I am thinking a 50" CX would be more to my liking. I am going to be patient, I know the right bike is out there for me.
