Hi,
anybody from the Lexington, KY or Charleston, WV area?
I'm looking for a bike shop in the Pikeville,KY area, something close to the tiny town of Banner,KY.
I found a high end used mtn bike that interests me but want to find a bike shop that would examine it (to make sure it exists) and ship it to me.
It is listed as brand new, gift from parents but they wish to sell.

Any other ideas on how to check it out? I do not intend to just send money off to person with ad.
They claim they have paperwork on the bike so I intend to ask them to fax that. Ad has a couple pics. I asked for more and they replied it is boxed up for shipping. Does Specialized box have serial number etc on outside or just generic box?

Anybody live near Banner,KY and know a bike shop? Any other ideas welcomed.
Thanks.

Banner KY might not be the end of the earth, but you can see it from there. My wife grew up in Paintsville, about 20 miles north of there. It's the land of mountain top removal. Not a lot of cycling around there. Here is a link to Bluegrass Cycling Club - they list some shops in Lexington.
