Bike Fitting/Shopping services
Hi Ladies!
Some of you know me well, some don't as I've not been on the forum as much in the last few years. Just too dang busy to do everything that I want to. Part of what's been keeping me busy is bike fitting. I've been going through the Bike PT program which is a series of courses for physical therapists and PTAs to learn bike fitting from an ergonomic/biomechanics/injury prevention point of view while still understanding the performance side of things.
I recently finished the last level of this course work which was mostly related to custom fitting, special adaptation for people with unusual needs and bike geometry comparison/contrast.
I'm thinking about adding a service to my coaching company which is basically by-the-hour hiring of me to help with personal shopping for a new bike. How I envision this service is having the client send me information about their current bike including some photos of them on their bike using a trainer and billing by the hour as I help them find a bike that will meet their desired needs. From my end I would have to analyze their current bike fit/position as best I could from the photo and help them find a new bike by scouring geometry data while considering performance as it relates to geomtery and materials and ergonomics. What you're getting is advice from an experienced (18+ years) physical therapist that is also an experienced cyclist, (road racing, mtb racing, triathlon including 4 IM finishes and one division win) and a woman to boot.
Here's my question. Is this a service that you would be willing to pay for? If so, would you be willing to pay about $150 to 200 for said service? I'm basing the price on my current coaching costs per hour and estimated time I think it would take me.
Thanks in advance for any input you have. I'm truly looking for honest answers here and constructive criticism.

I'm not sure how this fits in. I recently saw something about a bike fit app where you would take photos and then certain angles were evaluated. I wonder if some thing like that could be used with the evaluation?
