    Bike fit in Bay Area

    I am going to invest in a new bike this spring.... but I am wondering if anyone has a shop they like where I could get a good quality fit (money's not an issue, but I want it to be well spent).

    I am not going to be buying the bike from the shop, and I don't know if they will have issues with this. If anyone has any suggestions they would be much appreciated!

    PK Racing in Fairfax is great. Chris does a really good fit. Plan to spend about 2 hours there. He will fit you to an existing bike or fit you and give you specs to order a bike from anywhere. He does sell Serotta there, but doesn't push that at all. He charges enough on the bike fit that it doesn't really matter.

    Also Endurance Mill Valley does a good fit as well. They use a laser set up. I think the cost is comparable.

    Once you get your new bike fit, you'll be all ready to start training in February for the Death Ride... (I coach a Team in Training group for the Death Ride, and we ride in Sonoma. Napa and Marin counties - perfect for you! We start training in the beginning of February and the ride is second week of July. Just think about it.....)

    Already planning on it! With TIT.... my friend Sarah Betman did it last year, and we are planning on doing it this year

    Actually it is the main reason I'm getting a new ride in the first place! (But the other reason is that I am a gear snob and I love sexy bicycles) I'm excited!
