almost always go smaller, if you need to. seatposts and stems can be raised, but unless you've got some magic retractable balls, you'll always be the same height down there

Ooh. Do still have the box? Because I bet you could re-sell it. Took me years to find one.

how tall are you?
I've been riding the Mark V for just a couple of days now and really love it. Your gonna pay another 50 to have it shipped but I think its well worth it for an entry level.

If you look around the forums for the 550 range everyone will say iro. I just bought an iro and spoke to the owner and hes a real nice guy. Do a forum search and look at the outpouring of positiveness over the quality of IROs bikes and customer service

any. any bike. Just look. now if your looking for grade and performance that's different. You'll hear iro, pista, mercier, blah blah, conversion. I got a mercier a while back. great looking. but everything else will have to be up graded eventually. i've had it for over a year and i still haven't upgraded everything, or the wheels for that matter, b/c i'm lazy. anything. but the iro is so much hotter and the components are pretty good for the price.

I hate when my bike jumps all over the couch and starts tooting it's bars in the air. I also think my bike sleeps in my bed when I'm at work.
