I have 3 LBS's within one hour distance. The LBS 10 minutes away is the least helpful. Right now finding a road bike close to my size to try out is slim as all three LBS's are awaiting the new 2007 models. All of the LBS's I have gone do not take measurements etc. They use standover space between you and the bike. The one that is most helpful has looked at the horizonal top tube length with me as well as spent time discussing different models. When I asked the three LBS's how they fit people for a road bike they looked at me like I was an alien. Do you have to go to large cities to have this done?
I was leaning toward the Trek Pilot because of its more upright position. Mainly low end road bikes are sold in my area so LBS's aren't at ease ordering anything but lower end bikes for you to try out. How many different bikes in my size do I ask them to order just so I can try them out?
