+1 on the air. And is there another bike shop in your region? The one you went to is beyond bad.

Changing subjects when you ask questions refusing a test ride and then saying you can bring it back for a fit in 8 weeks??? 8 weeks??

If I bought a bike or had work done in any of my favorite shops and had issues I could bring it in or at least get an appointment for them to take a look that day.

You might end up loving the bike but find another shop.

Also if you feel twitchy on the bike relax, d@mn it!! especially your hands and arms. Having a death grip actually makes it harder to control your bike.
