Buy a bike via the internet

posted by stan679 on 10:17 am

I'm thinking of buying a bike, or maybe just the frame, over the internet. Any ideas or suggestions?

I guess the main problem is that a 55cm frame is not the same dimensions among different manufacturers and even between models of the same manufacturer.

I just ordered a frame through my dealer who took all of my fit info and compared that to the different sizes. I doubt you'll find an internet company that's willing to do that for you. I really try to get things locally whenever possible because you really can't take your bike to an internet company for repairs. I've heard several people complain how their shop went under because everyone shopped on the net. With the shop gone, getting things adjusted and fixed became a real issue.
