Thanks man I’ll check out the local shops. I’ll probably still have to go online just because of the clientele they are used to. Like, the bike shops are all basically in mountain brook. Which doesn’t mean much to outsiders. But this paragraph sums it up really well.

According to a list compiled in 2008 by Stephen Higley, it is the ninth wealthiest community in the United States.[13] It is often referred to as "The Tiny Kingdom" due to its high concentration of the region's business and professional leaders,[14] and the disparity of wealth between it and Birmingham where according to census data nearly a quarter of the population lives below the poverty line.

Like, you’ll probably think I’m joking, but I am dead ass serious. Here, riding a bike is rich people stuff. So all the bike shops are in the rich neighborhoods and incredibly expensive.

But I could probably at the very least go there and test ride some things. That way I have a better idea about power, and options.

Thanks for the info. I’ll ss it. That way I have a record of it when the time comes round again.

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.
