Boston-area fitters recommendations

[zia]

Considering a pro fit beyond the $50 "quickie" I got when I bought my bike. Just wondering if anyone has a fitter they love, how much they paid, and what they got for their money. Willing to travel within an hour of Boston...

Thanks!

Belmont Wheelworks has good fitters.

My 2 cents-Landry's. I have been impressed with Andy @ the Natick store.

Thanks, both of you. I've also personally had a good experience shopping at Cycle Loft -- they were the only store that fit me to a bike before I rode it, and even that super-quick fit was perfect.

The $50/20 minute fit I got nearby just isn't cutting it. I'll have to compare the different options...

Hands down-- Seth Brosnan of Competitive edge E Longmeadow....
Has drawn a following from an entire womens race team and their racing husbands.. Many who've gone through timely and costly gimmick machine fittings... and who wouldn't consider going anywhere else... NO BONES ABOUT IT SEE SETH AND ONLY SETH... VERY REASONABLE$ AND BE PREPARED FOR 2-3 HRS....

A fitter who goes above and beyond is Greg Robidoux who is a physical therapist by trade. When he fits, he takes into consideration your anatomy along with any past injuries. To me, this makes quite a difference. http://www.thecyclingpt.com/Site2/Home.html

My boyfriend, who is hardcore about cycling, went to Fitwerx in Peabody when he bought his newest Serotta last year. He said the fit was around $200 (I think) and worth every penny - said they did an awesome job!

I second Fitwerx in Peabody. I bought a roadbike at another Boston area LBS and got their basic fitting. Right away, I could tell it wasn't right. After the Fitwerx fitting, it was 100X better! They did leg measurements, looked at my flexibility, watched my pedal stroke. The fit was $200 and took about 1.5 hrs, but was worth every penny. Bonus- If you buy a bike there, the cost of the fitting is included or discounted.

Belmont Wheelworks! just don't dare go there for a fit without cycling shorts (I have seen people show up without shorts)
I work next to Cycleloft. They seem like a nice bunch of people, but I am Belmont-loyal. Anyway - the selection of women's clothing at Cycleloft is dreadful. You will have much more fun at belmont. Just avoid it on the weekends when there is nice weather.
