Buying

Can someone please tell me what you think the advantages are of trying a bike before you buy it.
The only advantage i can think of is just the general feel and size of the bike.

Couldn't agree more. Bikes aren't cheap - you need to make sure you're getting exactly what you want before you part with your hard earned!

There is also the fact you are supporting your LBS which can't hurt as they suffer a lot of online competition. You'll often find them suprisingly willing to discount prices if you ask nicely too
