One debate/disagreement/spat is hardly going to make or break us and I am just looking for opinions from those with cycling knowledge. If I am going to exchange this bike I would like to do it tomorrow. I already missed one day of riding over this and really hate to miss tomorrow too.
My wife and I had a bicycle shop many year's ago. Adults came in, I asked questions, made recommendations then added --- IMO, buy what you can afford and feel comfortable and HAPPY with since
YOU DESERVE IT because you EARNED IT.
OVERBUYING ??? WHY CERTAINLY at this time and level of riding you're at but so what!!! If it's comfortable and you
FEEL GREAT riding it, everybody else's opinion means diddly-squat.
NOW GO RIDE YOUR BIKE AND ENJOY!!!!..............enjoy the fruits of your labor.
