Should I buy it? Would you?

Bikeless, do not get the 17" Trek.

A 17" bike is MY size. TE gals Bikeless has been known to refer to me as her "scale model". I was just discussing this with 5'8" or so (?) Spazzdog and she said

Don't get that bike and frankly ANY other bike in Madison WI. I think this shop is just interested in unloading product or at minimum doesn't know how to fit a bike.

I have the day off Thursday, will use it to go to Moms and pick up your bike which is a hybrid but fits you fine.

And don't worry TE gals.

Chris at Robinson Wheelworks is my shop and he can do magic with slicks at minimum.

Or there may be a possibility of a loaner from my "other shop", Cyclepath in Hayward.

The manager there says he may have a Specialized Sirrus in Bikeless actual (not tortured) size. If the loaner bike is available he'll swap the pedals and seat and match the geometry. He'll fit her and then Bikeless can try distance cycling on a flat bar road bike.

If he does not have the loaner let Chris and Tim do their magic.

Distance cycling is not for all, you may love it and then begins the long slow process of finding and choosing the perfect bike for you.

Right now I'm just interested in getting you through the Cindy or as much of it as you can in comfort and fun.
