I've got concerns about buying a bike I can't test ride, but I definitely like what I've read about this frame (plus, it's got that pretty logo ). The main difference in the geometry between the Cross-Check and Double-Cross seems to be in the head tube. I talked to the guy who fit me on my current bike, and he felt that the shorter head tube on the Cross-Check would make it difficult to get the bars as high as I like. The Double Cross, on the other hand, has the same tt length as the Cross-Check, but the head tube is the same as my current bike.

Lots to sort out and think about.
