Being skeptical of a bike that you cannot first test-ride is legit; even more important is the fact
that proper fitting of a bike is a whole lot more than telling somebody how tall you are and them
recommending a frame size. You *might* get away with that with a mountain bike (and several different-
length stems to play with) but for a road bike, proper fit is the difference between a bike that's
fun to ride and one that sits in the garage.
