Dear Personality-challenged guy at the not-so-LBS,

Let's just say, for the sake of argument, that anyone who has ever helped me with a bike is a complete and utter idiot, and wouldn't know a seat tube from a derailleur. Let's assume that you are God's gift to the cycling world, and the only person who ever properly fit someone to a bike. Let's also assume that you are correct that if the standover height works, nothing else matters and you can fit anyone to anything. Do you really think, even on the slim-to-none chance that you are correct, that you're doing yourself any favors by going off like that about a bike that's already been bought, and one that I am completely, utterly happy with? Do you really think that's going to endear us to you and the chain you represent, when we plunk down another $2K on dh's bike?

Thought not.
