So I am having a dilemma. I have a limited number of companies I can get a bike from because I can get special deals on them. I have been pouring over specs and geometry for weeks now and I have decided to buy a complete bike rather than building one. The two bikes I'm looking at, the Norco shore 2 and the Scott Nitrous are really hard to find in my area. I have been going back and forth comparing suspension design, single piv vs. Horst, and the wieght savings and better parts spec of the Scott, but is it enough to compare geometry online or should I absolutely not by them unless I can ride them. Have any of you bought a bike without test riding it?
