I have been looking and talking with our local shop. Great folks! I am figuring out that there is a risk buying used and not having a good fit. My head know to just wait, save and buy new but my excitement wants to get out there NOW.

Again, this shop deals in Specialized, Cannondale and Trek. I rode the Dolce. It felt so different to be over the bike as opposed to sitting so upright. But...it was so light and fast! At one point I thought, "yeah Jean, but YOU are the momentum!"

What can I expect from a bike shop in terms of "test rides". To buy a bike and only ride it for 10 min. is scarey. But to take it out for 10 miles seems unrealistic to ask for.
