I got fitted... sort of!
I had an appointment with this gal that my husband recommended above all others in the area. (In retrospect she was fine but I liked the guy at the other LBS better)

She put me on a wind trainer and immediately put the saddle right back where my husband had set it. (note to self, husband knows where saddle needs to be!)

Then she went to the front end;
They didn't have the piece she wanted; but she put something in halfway between what she wanted and what I originally had. A joint that raises the handlebars.
She said if i didn't like this one, i could come back in 2 weeks and try the one she was going to order.

She also had them adjust the brakes
and measured every single part of me. (Not sure why she measured me, she didn't use the measurements.)


Then she played a little with the slope of the saddle and moved it forward.
she suggested i get bike shoes, that would give me almost another 1/2 inch of saddle lowering because they are on a lower platform than the walking shoes I was using. I actually was planning to get a pair, so we went over to the shoe department right away.
I tried on all these really cool metallic shoes, but the ones that fit me best were powder blue. ugh. but a good price (less than 70) with the Randonneur Club discount !
She also got out these pedal straps to use instead of spd's, frogs or cages. She said Kent Peterson (the guy who rides all over the countryside) got rid of all the other junk and only uses these straps now. This sounded very interested, so I decided I'd try them.
They will take some work to assemble (I am hoping my son who is studying engineering and math will do it for me) but i look forward to trying them.
I rode around in the parking lot and it seemed doable. She said i looked comfortable
I am hoping that I have some time in the next few days to try it out for real.
My son and I are both graduating from college this weekend and the relatives are starting to come in tonight!
