Ultimately she will have the last say.
But I have been having trouble with LBS in the Sacramento Area stocking womens tri bikes.
they might have one, but they can order me whatever I want???
Crazy right, I am gonna drop a fairly healthy amount of $$ and buy it without riding it???
No one in my area wants to carry that kind of inventory, for a such a limited market, I cant blame them.
When we purchased her Trek, we were able to try out several different bikes in her size before making our purchase. I want to attempt to buy at a LBS for post fitment issues and tuning, but alas that may not be an option. I hate to lead on a sales person in another area just to buy locally. So you see my dilemma.
I want to buy new, but would consider used... I want to give her the best that I can afford right now to help her achieve her goals.
Just looking to other women, who may have experience with some of the major brands available in my area, trek, specialized, Cervelo and Felt or ?
