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.2016 Specialized Ruby Comp disc - Ruby Expert ti 155

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
