I agree! I'm so afraid of the first case (too long of a reach to handlebars), because I'm not sure what they can do fix that?

I hope it's not core strength as I'm pretty good at building/maintaing that over the summer but who knows...

*sigh* I just want to ride for hours and hours and not hate my bike afterwards....
