RE: [M2T2] Bike Fit

Spencer-

I had a fit done professionally (with a F.I.S.T. certified guy), but it cost me some dough. I needed it because I adapted a road bike to ITU regulations (for the Armed Forces Championship). I couldn’t find any cheap way around it. I was surprised at the changes that he made. I can forward the information if you would like.

Any suggestions?

Additionally, I am selling a 58cm Surly training/bad-weather/commuter
road bike if anyone is tired of washing their tri-bike or truing their
wheels once a month...

If you already know it all then why are you asking for someone to fit you? I'd suggest buying the time with a local, the $100 gets you over an hour of time...	jeff malnick jeffmalnick	Nov 20, 2007 5:40 pm

Spencer, Pay the money. You'll be happier in the long run. I have to agree with Jeff, you'll never get that level of expertise in trying to fit yourself. I...	Brown, Wesley (Wes) (... wbdowntown	Nov 20, 2007 6:08 pm
I'm seeing a common theme here- Suck it up and PAY THE MONEY. It makes sense that if I really believe that there is a level of expertise above what internet...	slbaker1970	Nov 20, 2007 10:39 pm
