A word about getting the right size bike...

Forgot to mention- in the trek and the cannondale I was a 15" or 48" which both classified as "small". In the Giant brand I was an extra small. I'm 5'2 and 3/4, (though my license says 5'3) so I am kinda on the cusp. But, I wouldn't have known that the extra small was right unless I had also tried the small, which I did, (even though I had to drive to the other store across town), and it was definitely too big (when I stood over it the bar was up to the crotch area). So be sure to get "fit" but also get on each bike you're considering and test it out for comfort.
