But shoot me now for saying this. Kudos to BD for actually giving a ballpark figure, opposed to other vendors---box stores---who aim at one size fits all policy.
I would say an LBS is the best bet for an entry level bike, but the BD prices are alluring. Especially when visiting a LBS where they had a row of Kilos for $600. That's got to be great service. But hell, It may be worth it to actually get a proper fit.

The world is in equilibrium. You get what you pay for at Bikes Direct. Low prices...and low levels of information, service, and support.
