Anonymous asked: I'm looking to purchase a bike, I'm only 4'11" and the bike I was looking at coming in and getting (Trek Lexa) is 50cm, the size chart on your site suggests I get something that is 44cm... Do you have any bike suggestions? We plan on stopping by, just haven't had the time yet. Thanks!
Anonymous asked: I just submitted a question about bike size. I thought I'd include a little more information. I'm looking for a road bike, something light weight and easier for me to carry down the stairs of my 2nd floor apartment. Color isn't very important, I haven't purchased a bike since In 12 years, so I'm a bit behind on times! Thanks! -Katie

Anonymous asked: I have a late 90's Serotta Atlanta. I love the smooth ride of the steel frame but the shifters / derailers ( Shimano) are pretty worn. The front crank has a 52/39 with an 8 rear cassette. I haven't ridden much in years and I would like to start again but the gear set up is just too tough in the hills for me. It seems like it would be cheaper to find a low gear mtn bike then try to...

Anonymous asked: I have a 5 yo Specialized Allez dual comp. The computer, flight deck has been less than great. Too small, way too many functions for me and my 55yo eyes. Is there a larger read out computer than can used that can utilize the wiring/bar nipple controls?
Anonymous asked: My wife gets very uncomfortable on her bike seat after 12 or so miles. We've tried 3 different seats including a gel seat. Is there a way of finding a seat that is more likely to work? At $60+ (usually more) it is getting a bit expensive to get a seat that will work. The last question is: is it possible that no seat will be comfortable for a 60 mile trip (our goal).

Anonymous asked: WHAT DEMO BIKES ARE AVAILABLE?
Anonymous asked: Hey, last year you offered classes on bike maintenance. Will you be offering these classes again? I know how to change a flat tire, I DON'T know how to adjust derailers, I DON'T know how to maintain my chain...and I would love to learn. I commute by bike and I do a poor job of keeping my bike maintained properly.
Thanks

Anonymous asked: I live in the suburbs of chicago and would like to have a bike mostly to ride on trails between the villages. I probably would ride for more than 2 hours. I was wondering what bike you would recommend and if there is a store that you know of locally. We have REI and also small bike shops. My aunt's husband bought her a bicycle at your store-think it was Haul 01? Thanks.

Anonymous asked: Will the SRAM's new Apex WiFLI (wide range of gearing) be able to "make the triple obsolete" or is that just marketing hype? If it's real, any ideas on which bikes will have it as an option? Thanks!

Anonymous asked: In 2008 I purchased a Trek mountain bike from Gregg's Greenlake and I only rode it once on the Burke Gilman trail. The seat is extremely uncomfortable, so much so that I was sore for a few days afterwards. I've not ridden the bike since because of the seat. I'm 6'5" and weigh in at about 300 lbs and would like to replace the seat with a wide seat. Since I own the bike...

Anonymous asked: I feel I need a triple for climbing and my old knees. According to a report in the latest Bicycling, SRAM's WiFli (having a 11-32 ten-speed cassette and a double crank) may "kill the triple" because of the weight savings, improved shifting and reduced chance of derailment. Do you agree? Which manufacturers will carry the WiFli?
