New Bike

[kdskaggs]

Hi Lisa,

I live in Oklahoma. I'd love to find a place in Dallas, if possible, since it's just a 4-hour drive from here. I'll drive as far as Colorado but probably not much further. California and Massachusetts would be a heck of a road trip from here.

I'm going to throw another weird option at you.

Normally, I recommend against buying bikes on the internet unless you know exactly what you want. However, if you are willing to lay the money down to get a custom frame built, and ensuring that all the components are the proper size, try co-motion.

It looks like the closest dealer is in Plano. I'm guessing you are somewhere between OKC and Lawton. The factory is in Eugene, Oregon. I've been there, it's a really cool place. (The factory, Eugene is so-so).

What will happen is they have you fill out a form with about 13 measurements on it and determine what the best size is for you. If they don't have a stock frame that'll work, they'll build you one. They aren't cheap but it's a very solid bike and they take the quality of their frame very seriously.

I had one built about 7 years ago and I swear I will take this bike to my grave.
