Hi Everyone,
I am trying to buy a road-oriented hybrid in New York City (probably a Jamis Coda Sport). The problem is that the bike shops don't seem interested in helping me to find a precise fit in terms of bike size, set-up and cranks.
Most bike sellers just give me a small or medium frame bike (17 or 19 inches), because I'm 5' 8" and then they ask me which one I like better. The truth is I have no idea which is a better fit for me.
It's extremely important for me to get a perfect fit if I'm dropping $700 on a brand new bike. Where should I go in New York for help? It would help a lot if they sold Jamis bikes as well.
Thanks,
David Golann
