I realize this is not the same level of the original post but good deal for a bike.

Amex Everyday Bluecash supposedly 3% for online orders, YMMV if this counts for pickup...

If I damaged the rotors while riding on the trail then I would happily spend money fixing it (or do it myself), but I didn't even ride it.
Why would it be ridiculous to return a brand new product that was damaged?
Where are people getting the idea this process costs money?
I don't think he was talking about pedal position. The seat height determines that. He doesn't want a crotch injury if he needs to plant both feet on the ground when he's off the seat, standing over the top bar in an emergency. It could happen on a paved parking lot where falling off the bike or trying to catch yourself and bike with one foot could cause a devastating injury, especially for an older or not-fit person.

"Bike Frame Standover Height
First, make sure you can straddle your bike with your feet flat on the floor. Be sure to wear your cycling shoes when evaluating standover height, since they add to your overall leg length.
Road bikes: If the bike has a traditional straight top tube that is parallel to the ground, you should have approximately 1" of clearance between the ground and tires when you lift the bike as you're straddling it.
If the bike has a sloping top tube (semi-compact or compact design) expect to have clearance of 2" or more. Both men's and women's bikes can have compact frames.
Mountain bikes: When you lift the bike, you want 2" minimum clearance between the tires and the ground. If your bike has full suspension, it's okay to have less initial clearance (1"–2") because the suspension compresses under your weight once you sit on the bike. That said, the amount of clearance is largely affected by the slope of the top tube down toward the rear wheel. For example, if the slope is dramatic, you'll likely have ample clearance no matter what size the frame is. Because of this, you can't rely solely on standover clearance to determine if a bike fits.
Hybrid bikes: If your hybrid bike is a city commuter, use the road bike guidelines. If it's a beach cruiser or a step-through style, you don't really have to worry about standover height. Most of these have steeply sloping top tubes that let you step over easily and put your feet flat on the ground when seated."

Yes the GT is a 21 speed, and yes it's very likely there's overlap in the speed range (e.g. it's not really 21 net gear ratios, or that some of them are so close they're basically the same GR). You're right though, more moving parts = more shit to hassle with.
As I mentioned though, that GT was from the pre-suspension era (if anyone can recall that), and brakes are rim, not disc. Also, the bike is likely solid cast iron bars, or at least it feels like it

Interesting. Why is that?
