I researched on-line and went into a few different bike shops....test rode a few different brands/sizes .... when I decided on the one I wanted...I went onto EBAY....found the bike for $600 less than in the stores....
I wouldn't say stay away from Ebay....just be very cautious if it's a 'used' bike....& check their feedback.
Mine was "new" so I didnt' have any lemon issues....and since I test rode the exact brand & size I knew it would fit me. So it was a GREAT deal for me.... (I used the extra $ I saved and bought some cycling clothing...a new saddle) woohoo!!
Good luck and Welcome to TE![]()
