He said it would be a $30 charge to rewrap handle bars. The giant LBS owner is a female which seemed to know her stuff and mentioned really measuring me when I get there. I wish I wouldn't have to travel 2 hrs and they could just ship it to my Giant dealer for the sake of local tune ups and adjustments but not sure how to ask this? I'm anxious as all other orders on the Giants won't come in until June 1.

Wish me luck,

I'm a bit concerned about the 52cm. Seems big for someone who is 5'4", but we are all different. I'm 5'6" and ride a custom bike that is the equivalent to a 49cm. But then again, I have very long legs and a short torso.

Just make sure that they aren't trying to sell you the 52cm because it's the one they have on the floor. Switching out stems and all can only go so far. Make sure that the frame is right.

I also agree that you should ride as many different bikes as you can, even in different shops. I know you are excited and it's getting warm and you want to get out there, but if you get a bike that does not fit, you will not have fun on it.

Best of luck.
