Does it make sense to go to a fitter first? Manhattan is not the greatest place for test rides.
If it does make sense, how do I find a fitter? The only way I know is calling a shop, and I assume a fitter employed by a shop would naturally promote the brands the shop sells.
Finally, I'm not finding the bike's weight listed on many manufacturer's specs. A lighter bike is one of the main things I want. I like trips that involve some subway/train travel, and that means stairs. With my day's supplies and the 8.8 pound chain lock, I have to pay attention to weight. Am I overlooking something obvious?
I thought bike shopping would be fun, but it isn't.
