Test rides, test rides, test rides! Go to different dealers and try
different bikes, different brands. Also think about 'shopping' for a
bike shop. Sounds like you are going to be making changes and buying
new equipment (if only shorts, etc.) over the next year, so find a
dealer that you are comfortable with.
