Finally, after nearly 3 years with this bike, I'm getting a proper fitting! My parents agreed to spot me the money. Besides my reach problems with this bike, my knee has been hurting every time I ride. I told them this, and they agreed with me that $200 plus parts is much cheaper than fixing whatever knee, neck and back things I might end up with. I need to schedule said fitting, but it'll be in March, once I confirm when my spring break is. YAY!
Great Owlie- you will not be sorry!
I was fitted when I got my Ruby, and then I won the Carmichael fitting which took a good fit and made it superb!
I have had fewer problems with leg/back/hip since then, although it may be coincidental.
A fitting is definitely worth it. Sorry you have to wait until March, but that's better than not at all.
And the logic that a proper fitting is better than medical bills is pretty good. Although I've managed to wrack up my share of bills thanks to riding my bike :rolleyes:
Excellent!!!
Excellent!! It will be $200 very well spent. :D
That's great Owlie! I'll do the fitting soon as well.
Congratulations. It will make such a difference!
+1 yay :)
Congrats! I had a fitting last Saturday to help me with a purchase. It was pretty impressive and I learned a lot. I hope it helps you!
Owlie, are you getting the fitting done back home or up near school?? My fitter down here is a master fitter with over twenty years experience. I was really happy with her and how she listened to me thru the entire process. Cost was right in the range you are looking at.
Yeaaaa to fittings!!!

Home--I can't find a bike shop within easy driving distance that does fittings up here (nor do I know where I'm going). PM me the name/location of your fitter? I haven't actually called anyone yet. Too busy studying for my stats exam on Tuesday.:oQuote:
