    Does anyone here know anything about Ibex Bikes? = ibexbikes.comibexbikes.com

    Supposedly you get a lot more bike for your money as you buy direct. = Read some mixed reviews
    at roadbikereviews.comroadbikereviews.com but was = looking for anyone with personal knowledge who
    could comment.

    I am a entry/intermediate type rider looking to upgrade to something = that will climb a little
    easier than my old steel Motobecane with a 44 = chainring and Ibex was recommended. I guess I am
    little skeptical.

    Thanks.

    skeptical.

    Being skeptical of a bike that you cannot first test-ride is legit; even more important is the fact
    that proper fitting of a bike is a whole lot more than telling somebody how tall you are and them
    recommending a frame size. You *might* get away with that with a mountain bike (and several different-
    length stems to play with) but for a road bike, proper fit is the difference between a bike that's
    fun to ride and one that sits in the garage.
