Last summer I started road riding and I bought a used fuji to start. Very ruff ride. I have been looking to upgrade to something a little better and have been trying out giants,fuji, and now a felt.

I am 4'11" and I have a hard time finding bikeshops that carry my size. But today I tried one more shop and they had a a felt fw35 in a 43. So I took off to try it thinking that I probably wouldnt like it cuz Im so stuck on the avail alliance. Well I really liked it alot. It is a left over 2008 and the bikeshop is asking 899. The msrp was 1100. last year. Does this seem like a fair price?

One thing that concerns me is that I dont feel confident with this bike shop being able to fit me. This bikeshop was the only one that didnt set the seat for me. I had to circle back and ask him to raise the seat. This was the first bike that really fit comfortable as far as reach and all. I have never felt comfortable getting into the drops but with this bike it was so easy. So comfortable.

I guess if it was the correct size bike I could pay another shop to do a fitting. I have been looking for a bike for about 2 months now and I really want to make a decision soon. The weather is finally starting to get nice out and I wanna ride. Any advice would greatly be appreciated. I know I ramble on. Im at my wits end trying to pick a bike! Thanks for listening...
