Can you go and try a Ribble bike out before buying?

Hi,

I'm very tempted by the Ribble aero TT frame - using bits of bike I've got lying around at home I think I could build myself up a full bike for under £1K.

Trouble is looking at the Ribble geo chart for this bike being 6' tall puts me right between size M and L.

I've asked for a bit of advice on a TTing forum and the opinion was a bit split, with the majority advising I opt for the M.

I would like to have a try of the different frame sizes before parting with the cash and know a few here have recently purchased bikes from Ribble, is it possible to try before buying?

Thanks
Jon

ps I'm aware they're currently out of stock of the L frames.

    Only if you're quick. I think they are shutting their shop after this Saturday.
