I did just that on the cheap Trek 5200's. I asked where the seller was
located, since I'd prefer to pick up the bike in person. Here is the
response. Illinois is a pretty big state.

Hello

I do have all frame sizes in stock including 56 cm ! I accept payment to my
bank account only ! I have nothing against you coming and picking up the
bike but still payment would have to be done through our banks! I am located
in Illinois!

Best Regards

Wow. That sounds great. I'm interested in a 56cm. Do you still have any
56?

How do we work out the payment? Where are you located? If you are close,
we could

forget about the shipping as I could drive out there to pick up the bike.

Maybe I could even get in time for this weekend.

Let me know.
