Bit of advice needed

Looking to get a new road bike and take advantage of the 2012 offers.
I like the look of the cannondale caad10 105 and supersix 105
No shops local to me sell them ( would travel a bit to get to a dealer )
Feel a bit dubious about getting one without a fit.
Local shop has Scott, felt and focus.They will do a deal on Scott s20 with 105 for £1000 and a focus cayo with 105 for £1200 .
So do I order one on line for the best deal and travel to collect without a fit first ? Or go to local shop for one of the above . Any input gratefully received .
Cheers in advance.

Have you ridden road bikes before?
Do you know what bike geometry suits you ie top tube length, handlebar width, head tube length etc. If you are confident with all that then buy from the internet as there are many discounts available just now.
If however you are less sure of what suits you then go to you're nearest lbs for a try-out ( and then buy from the internet !)

Been riding about 3 months and have a alloy frame carbon fork bike at present . ( brand is 2x2)
I bought it second hand though , so I have never had a fitting.
So in brief I don't know h
What tube/s sizes suit me.0 -
I'd go to your local bike shop and get a bike from them. Its a waste to get a cheaper bike if its the wrong size for you. The right size is more important than anything else when buying a bike.1998 Kona Cindercone in singlespeed commute spec
