The problem is we only have one "local" store, so they kind of have a monopoly and don't seem to be much help... They only cary Trek's in the store, it's a hassle to get a Specialized in, and they can't get much else...

But, I called around to neighboring towns (about 40 mins away) and found a couple of others who carry Specialized, Cannondale, and Giant. One store was very helpful and is going to order a couple wsd in my size and let me ride them and the "mens" bikes to compare.

It'll only take 3-4 days to get them in too!

I'll let you know how it goes...
