RE: [M2T2] Bike Fit

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 went to
Spokesman in Santa Cruz (only because Joslyns couldn't work with my schedule at
the time). It makes a huge difference when you get your bike dialed in
specificly for you. If you are determined to do it yourself, you can check this
site out (http://www.wobblenaught.com), but for $20 more you can have a pro do
it.

Spencer,
you can go to www.slowtwitch.com <http://www.slowtwitch.com/> and search for
fit. They have a lot of articles on getting a good fit to you new bike. As
long as you have a good seat height and good reach (top tube length close) then
you should be able to fit the bike to you.

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...

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 ...

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...
