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 research will get you then there
should be a reasonable $Premium for that knowledge...

I wouldn't do much of anything for less than about $100 per hour, so
it stands to reason- I'll get an appointment as soon as one pops
open.

Thanks!

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.

reach (top tube length close) then you should be able to fit the
bike to you.
