I test rode that same bike in a 44". Absolutely beautiful!!! But as a beginner rider, I wasn't ready for drop handlebars, so I bought a Terry Classic that had straight handlebars.
Isn't it nice when you finally find a bike shop that really cares? I ended up getting my new road bike at a shop that is 40 minutes away, too. I was there for over 4 hours as I test rode bikes and got fitted.
CONGRATULATIONS!!

Thanks!
I saw a notice posted at the store about their big parking lot sale in August. I was so happy with the store, I told all my bike friends about it and now they're planning on heading to the sale.
Isn't it amazing what a little customer service can do?

Hey hey hey - comparing the LBS to Nordstrom is high praise indeed! Do they have as good a shoe department as Nordstrom ?
Congratulations on your new and first road bike - isn't it darn exciting?
Good luck and let us know how it goes

Cassandra,
I have a pair of Shimanos with SPDs that I use for spin class, but I wanted to know more about upgrading to a real road bike shoe. We went over all of the different shoes they had in stock and the guy says, "... and these are the higher end stuff but they're kind of expensive. They are $200!"
I tried not to laugh. I just kept thinking, "Man, if you think $200 is a lot for a pair of shoes, you've got a lot to learn about women!" Apparently, he's never watched Sex and the City.. nor shopped for shoes at Nordstrom.
I didn't even go there when he started talking about the prices of saddle bags!
