The second bike was again a perfect fit and by the way very comfortable , wasn't in my price range ($1400) but the sales guy was very nice and helpful.
Maybe you should go back to the first store at a different time- might be a different sales person. If it might mean a purchase savings of $700 between the two "perfect fitting" bikes, why not?? You could always take your bike elsewhere to get it worked on later too. Think of the bike clothing and accessories you could get for the $700 you save!
