thread lives.
I have a bad feeling about this, am I correct that you have never seen the bike? you sent a deposit after talking on the phone to "his mechanic". bad f3eling.
did you check out for reviews on the bike shop and matched the tel number to the shop? sorry to be a downer, but I wouldn't buy a bike unseen. however, if a reputable shop's mechanic vouched for the bike I probably would - but I would want to talk to someone at the shop's advertised tel. number. bad feeling. hope im wrong.

hope these concerns haven't been addressed earlier, lot to look at- 200 posts..

Best Luck to you.

It's a smaller bike shop in the Huntsville area. I spoke to the owner of the shop not just the mechanic.
I haven't boughten anything yet don't worry. But I have done my research into it and everything looks legit. It's just a matter of seeing the bike. As mentioned I limited access to a car with a hitch or a car in general, so I wanted to be sure before I even head up there.

I already said I wouldn't buy sight unseen. Hope it works out for OP though.

Deposit wasn't anything significant. I haven't boughten anything yet.
 
Na you'll be fine, don't follow big clouds, most of the rain is right behind them. Safe ride, check it over well before you take off on it.

didn't your last bike have no fenders?

So anyone know how to raise bikes back to stock height? Is it something relatively safe to do on my own?

Should I start a new thread on it?
