Thanks for the fast reply. Originally I was looking at a 48" frame versus a 50" frame. I came up with the number 52" by measuring practically every piece of me and putting it into a fit calculator. I guess a 52" might be a little more than I can handle Ideally I will get some help from a sales guy who is less patronizing and more informative tomorrow. I called a buddy about the guy who really annoyed me. I guess he has heard about him before and unfortunately on a Saturday afternoon it was difficult to get any attention. I'm taking a more knowledgeable friend tomorrow in my continuing search for the perfect mate (I mean bike) for my endeavors.
Any thoughts on looking strictly at road bikes versus tri specific bikes since I'm just starting out?

Luckily where I live there are plenty of places to deal with. I agree that it is never a good idea to buy from a place that doesn't treat a customer with a reasonable amount of decency. I'm not deterred though.

I'm in the Boise area and am mostly dealing with George's and Bob's. I'm probably going to a different George's tomorrow and back to Bob's where I will purposely seek out a particular person I was told to talk to. I'm also going to check out a new store that opened on State. Thank you for suggesting the road bike instead of the entry tri. I know I can always get a tri later but I wasn't sure if I should just start with one since I'm certain this is the direction I'm headed.
