Where can I find a decent shop on Long Island that carries Litespeed....

I need someone who knows what they're talking about, where I can get a decent fit....I'm sick of speaking to BMX kids......

I'm seconds away from just caving in and calling Colorado Cyslist and just doing the measuring myself......help!!!!!

BMX kids beat the hell out of trying to work with Mountain Bike kids, or worse yet, kids who don't bike at all. My LBS sucks.
I'd say give Colorado a call. You'll save money too.

Colorado Cyclist is an excellent mailorder retailer. They may be a good alternative. Have you visited R&A? They are a volume dealer but they are very experienced and I hear good things about them.

If you size yourself carefully you will likely wind up on the right frame size. It is the positioning that can get sketchy.

But hey, given enough monkies and enough type writers and enough time they will reproduce every book ever published verbatim.

Thanks Tom...I think I've calmed down enough to start thinking clearly again.....must have been the monkey thing.....

O.k...R&A...I had given them some thought.....

Any NY locals out there with feedback on this shop?

So far, the record is the first 19 letters of a work of Shakespeare. Long way to go.

Take a few deep breaths and then go to litespeed.com and use the dealer locator.

If that don't work, I ordered mine from CC after following their measurement guidelines and scored a great deal during their end-of-season clearance...no complaints.
